Title: Help

I've finally took a stand to end the abuse.  I'm afraid of him still and what he is capable of.  I'm not sure how far to take this. Please help

I'm sorry for what brought you here but I'm glad you're with us. We help and support each other here.

I wanted to ask if you have any immediate needs for safety?  Do you have a plan for self protection if needed?

Assuming you are not concerned about immediate safety, what is going on?  Sounds like your SO has been abusive in some way and you are ready to take a stand?

Ginamarie - have you read this?

What helped me get through was NOT being reactive. Leaving the room when he was dysregulating, leaving the house if need be.

Do NOT engage if at all possible. Be boring, say things like "I'm just so confused". And then make your plans to leave or to stay and deal with the extinction bursts. More information on those here:  https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/index.php?topic=85479.0

Wishing you the best.
