Broken,

Please think about making a plan to leave. This is not a healthy relationship and, in fact, it is an abusive one. You may love the person he used to be, but I think it is fear that keeps you there now, not love.

You are very young and it would be horrible for you to decide that you don't deserve any better than this. It would be even worse if he hurts you. And I agree with Susan and Alison, the threat is very real. Living in a home full of holes in the wall that "should have been your head" is hurting you, mentally and physically. Please, please try to think about how you could save a little money, how you could stay with family or friends, how you could get a parttime job. After you get into a safe situation, then you can figure out whether a future is possible with this man.

Please write back to us. If you need help finding solutions, please call the hotline number Alison gave you, or let us know what city and state you're in and we'll see what local resources we can find for you.
