Trapped
I am in a relationship with a tyrant. He is absolutely horrible to me. He is the coldest, cruelest person I have ever met. I have only encountered people like him in the movies. These last 2yrs with him have been a nightmare. I have no idea what I seen in him. We live together and I desperately want to leave and I told him this. I cannot rent anywhere else as a resident as long as I am on a lease with him in the state we reside. He said he will not take me off the lease either and I begged. I have nowhere else to go and I am suffering. I am able to support myself I just need to get off of this lease. I cry everyday. I am tired and worn. I cannot live like this anymore. Our lease isn't up until 8/1/2024 and I know I cannot stay here for the next 7 months because my mental health is collapsing. What can I do?
@pitchBlack1987 thank you for sharing this with us, black. i hope you manage to get some support and help on this :)
@pitchBlack1987 I'm very sorry you're in such a situation. I hear you're hurting and feeling stuck there. It sounds really horrible, but I do want to say yes, there absolutely are options and there is hope, and you reaching out shows you know what you want and are determined to make it happen. I got out of a similar sounding situation 3 years ago. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, but once I was out I was free. The time I was in it felt smaller looking back, it was temporary. I can't give you advice as a listener, but maybe we can brainstorm some ideas together that could be helpful for your specific situation. Feel free to respond here, or message me directly if you'd want to talk more.
