I don't think there is ever, "A right time to leave" one thing i noticed with my mothers situation was it wasn't the abuse that made her decide to leave but the fact that he was screwing around on her. She could explain the broken collar bone, and the stitcher's in her head and forgive him for it because "he was drunk at the time", or because "he really did love her". kuriousnature, if u have the support of your friends, then the times right. I know its a scary thing to walk out and start over. My thoughts are with you kuriousnature and I hope your safe and my thoughts are with you.

My main reasons to post here are in support of those that have and those that are going through abuse. If any thing I have posted or do posts offends or causes a triger, then I apologize as this is not my intention.

I have been through my own personal hell with abuse, It was not sexual nor was there a lot of physical abuse. It was mainly verbal and emotional abuse.
funny how it can take u 14 hours to decide if your going to post what u write.
