So, you’ve made the decision. You can no longer live with the fear, the depression, and the feeling like nothing you do is right. Whether it is hurtful words, emotional blackmail or worse, you just can’t take it any more.
I’ve been there and know exactly what you’re going through which is why I wrote this, to help others escape their emotional abuser.
If you are where I was, you want to leave, have to leave but you have no clue HOW to leave. My intention is that this guide will help you on your journey towards freedom, strength, and independence. As such, I’ve shared my experiences and straight up words of wisdom without the sugar coating.
I’ll apologize now if anything I say offends or scrapes across already raw nerves, but sometimes you gotta be direct and this is one of those times.
Oh, and congratulations on taking the first step by obtaining this guide.
The first thing you must do is stop and take a deep breath. Unless you are in imminent physical danger, you need to take a period to take an inventory and do some planning.
As a survivor of more than nineteen years of emotional and sexual abuse, I know that when you make the decision to leave you want to make the jump right now.
You MUST take some time to make plans for the future. Even if you walk away with nothing else, you’ve got to have a plan. That’s where I come in. In the following pages you’ll find common sense advice to help you set up your future. Hopefully you’ll know what you need to do, to have, to get, so that leaving will be less traumatic than if you hadn’t taken the time to build your road map.
My Story
I grew up in a family where divorce was not an option. One cousin I hadn’t seen since I was six months old was divorced. One aunt (the wild and crazy one) was divorced three times and ended up living with a man for twenty-three years until his death. Other than that family members married and stuck with it.
