So I was in an abusive marriage for 3 years. Physically, emotionally and mentally. At times I saw my life flashed before me! I stayed because I was afraid. To make a long story short, I did get out of the marriage alive but I have walls around me and I am very defensive. I forgave my ex husband but he can never contact me under any circumstances!

I never been in a physically abusive relationship but my ex kidnapped my son and used him to emotionally abuse me for months. I just had to stand up for myself and get my son and start the healing process

I think he should be punished for abusing you. He has no right to abuse anyone. You should go to the police.

Great decision you made. Relationships and marriages are meant to be happy, consistent, peaceful, not a nightmare. I hope your life goes better now.

I'm so sorry to read something like this.Womens usually stay in such relationships because they are afraid,which is of course wrong but I can understand. I'm glad for you that you were brave and left out of such a relationship.
