How did you leave your abusive spouse?
I don’t know how to leave. I know that if I’m the one who tries to leave, I’ll end up dead. Today he actually told me “i should just kill you, my life would be so much easier.” He’s told me a couple of times that he hoped I would die, but he never threatened to actually kill me until today. I’m not financially tied to him, I actually am the breadwinner and pay most of the bills. We have a lot of pets together (dogs and cats) so I can’t just leave them with him because I know what he is capable of. If it weren’t for them, I would have disappeared from his life already. I can’t leave my babies behind to suffer. But I just can’t suffer like this anymore. I’m in Reno, NV. There are a lot of things that complicate me leaving and I don’t want to go into too much detail because Reno is a small town. I guess I just wanted to vent. Sometimes I feel like the only way I’m going to escape him is if I die. Either by my own hand or his.
