When I finally got away, I thought I was pathetic for not standing up to him, but then again he had threatened my friends and family and had pulled guns and knives on me. I was kinda at a loss for a while until I got the nerve to go to the police and explain what was happening.

It's not easy to get out once it starts. You REALLY have to leave at the first sign of trouble...not try to be tough.

I'm sorry that you had it happen to you *hug*

I'm glad you were able to get away from him,and that you had the nerve to do it.

*hug*
