looking for advice
i just joined this app. i’m searching for some advice or any insight. i’m in a relationship of 3 years, we rent a house together and have half a year left on our lease. we have pets together and i thought this was always going to be my life. a few months ago he slapped me. it really mentally effected me as i have been through abuse before, i left and moved in with my mom for a bit. her husband makes me extremely uncomfortable. i do not have the money to move on my own, since i still owe on my current lease nor do i have the credit. i decided to forgive and move back in. all my stuff is in that house with him and i really missed my pets. i thought things would get better, im in therapy. i was optimistic. well, its happened again 4 times now. one time was very violent and i was drug down the hallway by my hair. he’s said things i feel like i can’t move on from. its so out of character for him i feel like im in shock. i’m no saint by any means but putting your hands on the person you “love” crosses the line. i have no clue what to do. he’s been overly nice the last month and keeps telling me i need to move on past all of this and let it go. i feel like i cant move on past this even though it hasn’t happened in a month. i have no friends, at all. i have no family to talk to about this. my mom tells me she doesn’t want to hear about it. i feel like im holding on because the loneliness is paralyzing. i’m just looking for advice, community, just some kind of reassurance.

I'm sorry your mother's husband makes you feel uncomfortable.
That's not on.
But you need to live somewhere else.
Dragging you by the hair is not acceptable.
There's no justification.
Sorry is not good enough.
Or tears.
He is a grown man.
With no respect.
You deserve to be safe.
To heal and to be in a relationship where you finally see what love is and isn't 💚

I am sorry you are going through this. I’m going through something kind of similar. As much as I’d love to give you advice I don’t really have much dealing with the same issue. But if you ever need someone to talk to you can message me.
