Hi guys, I now feel like I am ready to share my hard hitting story after a long 5 years.

About 6 years ago me and my husband decided to get married as we felt it was both right and ready to start a family. We both had good jobs and shared a house, everything was perfect. My husband travelled abroad Monday to Wednesday and came back early Thursday morning. I was fine with it as it payed our bills.

one day he came back from travelling and told me he quit his job, I was fine with it because if your not happy in your job he should get another, I felt I was very supportive. A couple of weeks went by and I thought it was time he got out the house and looked for a job as bills weren’t being payed off. I once came back from work and he was smashed out of his head and he stunk of pure alcohol. He became very abbusive and it was physically and mentally draining. I thought it was a one off but it went on for a good few years. I was horrible. I wanted to leave but it wasn’t that easy. He abused me and I felt like I needed to stay to help him.

Finally after a good 5 years I left, it was very hard, but i just ran away and I’ve started again. I didn’t know what to do, was there anything I could of done? Any advice?
