If some of you wonder why I didn't just leave, I need you to hear this. I told him to leave my house, he refused. If I tried to call someone he would take my phone. If I tried to leave he would block the door. Why didn't I just ask for help? Oh I did. My mom thinks it's my fault and my friends just ignore those texts; they'll answer any other messages I send them, but not the ones begging for help. He told me not to tell my therapist, but even when I try she tells me it's just a hard time and we will get through it. I have given up even trying to leave. I will just deal with this. I can't get out on my own and I have no help. Everyone is okay with seeing me like this. So I guess I just won't make a fuss about it anymore. Don't you dare blame it on me. I did everything that people tell you to when you're in a situation like mine. "Why didn't you just leave him?" Why didn't you help me?
