Shaula EvansA number of my friends got out of long-term abusive relationships in the past few years and are now doing well and thriving.
This is a reminder to anyone who needs to hear it that second acts are possible and good things also happen.

Kat S@ShaulaEvans My partner's in that number.
We were both recovering from abusive relationships when we met (mine short-term, theirs long-term complete with marriage). That was in 2003.

@KatS I am so happy for both of you that you found each other.
@ShaulaEvans Thankyou đ¤

ĺťĺ˘çŤ đđđââŹđđââŹđââŹ@ShaulaEvans that includes me. 14 years in a super abusive marriage.
@Haikyoneko I hope you are out or can get out. You're in my heart.
@ShaulaEvans got out 8 years ago thankfully.
WanWizard đ´ó §ó ˘ó łó Łó ´ó ż đłđą@ShaulaEvans Yes, I can concur. Although it takes time and plenty of support. I'm slowly getting back on top of things, and it's been 10 years since I managed to get out.
I would also like to highlight that abusive doesn't always refer to physical abuse, and the victim in the relationship isn't always female (not that you said that, but a lot of people believe this to be the case)..
@wanwizard I'm so happy for you that you're out and rebuilding your life. It's no small task at all.
Thank you for making that point. One of the friends I was thinking of was a guy, and many of the abusive relationships I've witnessed included emotional and psychological abuse, whether they were physically abusive or not. It's all devastating.
