Q: Abuser having an affair

I didn't realize how abused in 14years untill I found out he been having an affair 18months ago.Then he accelerated his abuse......I'm wondering if ive had a breakdown i.e life out of control,feel like my personality has been stripped away,have stopped functional to the point I cannot work,socialize or even venture out my front door without panic! Cant do a thing!!

Cant think of the future like this,cant understand a simple movie,article.I dont present well anymore.The change is obvious to people i know and strangers think I'm not right!

I cant go on anymore like this and cant leave cause he has hidden our money and fear if i even took a stick of furniture he would come after me!!

I'm destroying myself as im so angry and taking on all the insults and put downs till ive become it aswell!!

He walks around like a king and I've built him to something he'd never have or be and he's got some sick pleasue out of destroying me.he is 13years older and all my 20's and 30's have been lost to building him(thinking its for us)and feel ill never be attractive or successful as im too old now,thats if i ever come out of this.....ive been like ths since the affair...he still denys and still see's her.He makes me feel invalid..like i dont exist....when we meet i had so much going for me,I was bubbly,alive,attractive!I loved him...god damm it!!!!
Please i need urgent help,have been to doctors and get offered drugs!!

I'm sorry that you are going through this right now. It's an aweful thing that he is putting you through and You Do Not Deserve this. You deserve a lot more. The way I see it is that you need to find the strength to get out! Find a womens shelter and leave all the material things behind for now. if they're worth getting back then take him to court a little down the track once you've built you're strength up again. I was in an abusive relationship and the funny thing is that when you actually leave you look back on the person and you don't fear them anymore. You look down on them and pity them and believe me on this You will Never Look Back. I remember how much I feared my ex but then he stole some money before we broke up which got me so mad so then I charged him and put a restraing order on him and there was nothing he could do. Those type of men think they're so mean and tough and a King (boy my ex even stated that he was king) but realistically that's only to you. Once you get out in the real world and get real people involved to support you and the law too with restraining orders you will realise he is Nothing. You'll get over him. What you have is not love. You're better off alone. You'll come home to a nice quiet house and buy nice things and watch good movies and really enjoy the serenity.
Good luck to you darl. I pray you find the stength to leave him!
