Yesterday I told the man I’ve been with for 10 years and have a 19 month old with that I’m still healing, trying to heal, trying to cope with the last time he was abusive. I was changing her diaper on the floor and he was arguing with me and he ran up on me and threw me to the ground by my neck and was choking me. I left a defense wound on his face that left a scar. Seconds later he kicked the baby gate so hard it was about an 1 inch away from hitting our baby. I left right then and there. I ended up coming back..because i don’t want to take his daughter away. His response when I told him I was “still healing” I’ve not been okay since that day. He said “ healing from what”. I walked away. I come on here as a place to journal as I work my way out of this house.
