Starting over.

Hey everyone. For the past 5 years I have upheld this persona of a happy and spontaneous girl in a loving relationship with whom I thought was my person. Through this not only did I lie to myself but lied to everyone around me. I isolated and lost everyone, including family and friends for this relationship. The truth of the matter was that behind all the sappy Instagram, Facebook and twitter posts was a very abusive relationship. I had been getting physically, verbally and mentally abused just about daily and I grew to think that it was acceptable. Through this I was manipulated to use all my money on non-essentials and was ultimately left with nothing and behind on major bills. On August 7th, things spurred quickly and resulted in a nearly broken nose, the inability to breathe smoothly due to punches and kicks to the ribs and strong choking. I left my Florida to runaway with him and now I am sort of stuck here and also unemployed also due to his manipulation of wanting me attached to his hip 24/7. I am typically not one to ask for help but it’s now my time to get on my correct path and find myself and give myself and my pup the best life I possibly can. Anything helps and is highly appreciated.
