By the time our five year anniversary came, my marriage had evolved into consistent <strong>name-calling<\/strong>, <strong>blaming,<\/strong> <strong>yelling<\/strong>, <strong>gaslighting<\/strong>, <strong>mind games<\/strong>, <strong>isolation<\/strong> from family and friends, <strong>threats<\/strong> of divorce, and the discovery of his inappropriate relations with other women.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">People often underestimate the deep wounds that emotional and verbal abuse can have on a victim. I remember one day he got so enraged with me, he screamed, \u201cYou are the reason I have to take medication!!!\u201d These words just affirmed to me that \u2018I was really that bad.\u2019 My heart just ached and throbbed with confusion, fear and defeat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">The physical abuse progressed as well. It turned into him <strong>blocking<\/strong>, <strong>shoving <\/strong>and <strong>kicking<\/strong> me. Then he started <strong>punching<\/strong> walls inches from my face, <strong>throwing objects<\/strong> at my head, <strong>restraining<\/strong> me in both private and public, and <strong>recklessly driving<\/strong> with me in our vehicle. I remember many of the fights in our truck would start with him driving extremely fast and irresponsibly down the highway, to the point where I was crying and begging him to stop. Then when we got home he would take pride in being the one to \u2018comfort\u2019 me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">I didn\u2019t know how to deal with this. I remember praying and asking God, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>\u201c<em>Please send someone into my life who understands the insanity that I am living in!<\/em>\u201d<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">I felt negative emotions such as anger, shame, grief and isolation 90% of the time. There were times I would resort to self-harm and drinking just to feel some relief.&nbsp;I felt like God had abandoned me.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column_7751ba-b4 >

So I became devoted to improving myself as a wife, hoping to appease him and stop the abuse. Unfortunately, the abuse did not stop, and I was getting desperate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">During these years, I spent time in counseling to improve my marriage and myself. I tried to get him to come to counseling with me, but he would give every excuse in the book to not go. I did meet one female counselor, whom I saw maybe 3 times, tell me,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-theme-palette-1-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><em>\u201cHe is a narcissist, and this won\u2019t stop.

My mind <em>screamed<\/em> as I felt this <strong>CHRISTIAN<\/strong> counsellor was introducing the option of leaving my husband. As a Christian, I didn&#8217;t believe in divorce. So, what were my options? Lifelong suffering? Misery? Again, I prayed to God to help me and to send someone into my life who understood this pain and this battle. It took a few years, but He did.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column_a8f0a0-1e > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_a8f0a0-1e > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_a8f0a0-1e > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_a8f0a0-1e > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_a8f0a0-1e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_a8f0a0-1e > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_a8f0a0-1e > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_a8f0a0-1e{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_a8f0a0-1e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_a8f0a0-1e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_a8f0a0-1e\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h3 class=\"has-theme-palette-1-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:30px\">My Awakening<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Christmas 2014, I met a dear friend whom I immediately hit it off with. I found out we had a lot in common, including both experiencing domestic violence (however she had been divorced for years).

Many women who are survivors of domestic violence think that they can leave their abuser, and within a few weeks or months they will be \u2018fine.\u2019 I tell victims that it has taken them a \u201cX\u201d amount of time to enter, survive and then leave the relationship, so realistically they should expect that healing and recovery will take longer than they want and expect. Unfortunately I experienced sexual violence in 2016, so this only increased my trauma and therefore my recovery as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column_b445ed-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_b445ed-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_b445ed-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_b445ed-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_b445ed-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_b445ed-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_b445ed-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_b445ed-6f{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_b445ed-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_b445ed-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-2 kadence-column_b445ed-6f\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kb-image_0a3ef9-54 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_0a3ef9-54\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/analahlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Untitled-design-2-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"how to leave an abusive relationship\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-984 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/analahlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Untitled-design-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/analahlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Untitled-design-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/analahlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Untitled-design-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/analahlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Untitled-design-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/analahlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Untitled-design-2-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/analahlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Untitled-design-2.jpg 1600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px;
