Golden words.

Escape.

In abusive relationships you may sometimes feel that living without them is even worse - either due to attachment or financial issues or anything else.

No, it isn’t. Any problem can and will be solved - transition will hurt, but, as just about 100% of people who escaped such relationships will tell you - it is worth it.

Your safety, dignity and mental health are worth way more than what you get in any abusive relationship.

Also, bonus points for owning up to your past mistakes. You’re doing great!
