I'm planning to now, but I'm having trouble with rent, as in having enough to live on my own.
I understand now, and now I'm starting to realise that he may have just been using me.
Yeah I don't know how the average person would react but I said those harsh things because his joke really hurt me, felt like he was driving a knife through my heart...
I was so shocked I didn't even cry when he hit me, only later after the cops left.
I live in Australia, do any of those hot lines have branches where I live? And is it safe to call them right now or until I move out, their just advice hotlines right? I don't know what my boyfriend is capable of anymore...
There's Mensline Australia 1300 789 978
Here's a website for men in Australia:
http://www.oneinthree.com.au/
here are resources
http://www.oneinthree.com.au/servicesandresources/
Including hotlines and special resources for gay men.
Preferably don't call any hotline while at home. Tell him you have to go buy something, then go out and phone a hotline in the park or in the public toilet etc. Preferably somewhere private. Then buy something so he won't get suspicious. I would tell you to go to a friend and call the hot line there, but from your responses you seem to have nowhere to go.
This is a fucked up situation and I'm glad you realized this and you are taking steps to get out.
Thank you really appreciate this.
Sure, I can even call after work or uni and just lie that my class or my work hours got extended. So I don't create any superstition, since I use his money and he usually wants to go shopping with me. Sadly no extended family here either,they're in Europe and I doubt they want to deal with me.
Yeah I guess I've been desperate and just clinging on what I thought I deserved.
Am I to blame for this abuse?
