I'm losing myself in a toxic relationship

I'm trapped in a relationship with a husband who has anger issues, narcissistic traits, and depression, and I'm sacrificing my own career and happiness to support him

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew how to set boundaries and prioritize my own needs"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't stay in a relationship that's slowly draining your life; seek help and prioritize your own happiness"
