Please tell us your story on how you recognized what was happening, what you did, and what helped you. Not only is it therapeutic to write things down, but your story may help many others in their difficult situation. You know better than anyone that there are many people out there who feel trapped in their relationship, who feel that there is no escape because of their own emotional fears or because of real fears for their physical safety for them or a family member. If you were in such a situation and got out, please consider sharing to give others information and hope.
