Abusive Relationships - "out of NOWHERE?"


Expert: Francis Hosein - 3/5/2008

Question
I have been living with my boyfriend for 4 months and last night he became angry with me because he didn't like that I had one of my friends stay over that he doesn't like and decided that he was going to choke me and tell me that that he would "kill everybody in the house".
Not only was I in the house but my kids and two of my friends where, I told my self that surely he was acting out of anger and did not mean this. After being up all night out of fear of what he might do and seeing the marks on my neck from when he strangled me , I realized that this was a possibility. Wow! This "Man" that I trusted to sleep in my bed, watch my kids, and be in my life is actually capable of taking away everything that is dear to me over a "Power Struggle" ????
Long story short, as a tear drops down my eye for the love that I felt was lost, time together, passion, emotions, and spirituality shared...I know right from wrong; as does he. I will NOT put myself or my children in the position to be faced with that kind of FEAR !!!!

So, Question is...How do I handle hem now that he is gone and when he calls?
I don't have anger... only the knowledge that if I stayed I would be at risk.

Answer
Hi Anise, congratulation on doing the right thing for you and your children.

Let him know that you do not think that it is in your best interest and for him.

Let him know that you cannot take that chance with your children and that this type of relationship is not good for both of you.

Let him know that you do not meet his needs and otherwise he would not be choking you like that and it is better that you do not see or talk because it is not helping both of you to move on.
