Stay in a toxic marriage

My husband constantly calls me names and makes me feel like I'm crazy or emotional. He's emotionally abusive and controlling, making me doubt myself and feel trapped.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew I deserved better and had the strength to leave the relationship sooner."
If I could tell you one thing
"Seek help and support from loved ones, friends, or a therapist to build confidence and find the courage to leave a toxic relationship."
