A stranger was nicer to me than my fiance....

I've been having a lot of hard times recently, especially with my relationship. I'm with a guy who I truly care about, but he is so controlling, mean, and manipulative.

We have a daughter together so I have tried and tried to fix things so she can have her parents together, but I am truly so unhappy.

We fight every day and he just blames me for all of our problems and verbally attacks me sometimes. My self esteem has been brutalized and it's taking a toll on my entire life. I am trying to get the courage and strength to leave because I know that's the only way I can start to be happy again, but each time I leave- he pulls me back.

Anyways. Today has been especially hard. I dont voice my problems on social media, but a girl I worked with 5 years ago and am friends with on Facebook- just called me. I haven't spoken to her since I worked with her. She called and was saying how she sees what a strong, beautiful person I am and how I am such a good mother to my daughter and just wanted to call and let me know that because she felt like I needed to hear it.

Someone who BARELY knows me took time out of their day to call and say one of the nicest things I've heard in so long. I know everyone believes in different things, but I think God knew I have been beaten down for so long so he led her to build me back up. I could just cry
