I am in an abusive relationship. There, I said it. I've been married almost 5 years now. We were best friends. Best friends before we dated and best friends throughout our relationship. Then we got married. I do not recognize him anymore. He drinks in the day and at night and everything I do seems to piss him off. I've done everything for this man. I've been his sexual plaything, I've been other men's sexual plaything to fulfill his needs. But now I've come to the realization that he doesn't love me, he doesn't love our daughter. I see him now for the entitled rich boy that he is, depending on his family and their legacy while doing nothing on his own. I have given up. My broken and battered body and soul cannot do this anymore. Every day I spend with him, I put myself and my daughter in danger.... And I refuse to let my daughter go through this pain. Thank you for reading, for letting me lift this burden from the depths of my soul. Today, I am free.
