I was trapped in a toxic marriage with a narcissistic partner who controlled me financially and emotionally. He was a heavy gambler who hid it from me and took control of my paycheck. He isolated me from family and friends and made me feel worthless.
What I wish I knew
"I wish I had recognized the signs of abuse sooner and left him sooner"
Advice
"Don't stay in an abusive relationship, no matter how hard it is to leave. You deserve to be happy and safe."
