I stayed for way too long in a relationship that made me happy but also left me unfulfilled. Unfortunately, I waited until I was completely destitute to leave. And when I did he started trying to continue to control me by stalking and I got a restraining order.
My point was, if I could do it at 36 as a penniless woman with no job and no place to go, the world isnENTIRELY your oyster.
Don’t focus on starting anything new. Fix your self and when you love yourself, love will come along.
I'm sorry brother, but this is abuse in every form. Please give the Domestic Abuse hotline a try. They can help you make a plan to keep yourself and your son safe. I hate to say this, but leaving is always the most dangerous time and your son may be used to hurt you during this time. GOOGLE Brandi Worli.

I think this is exactly what happened. Anyone that tells you you're lucky to have them is trying to sell an asymmetric power dynamic in their favour.
