@sheila1960, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Often, when we find ourselves in abusive relationships, it is a good idea to seek some insight-oriented counseling so that we can learn how to set appropriate boundaries and how we might develop healthier relationships in the future.

Have you considered counseling?

@hopeful33250 yes absolutely.. I had to leave with nothing. It was my only way out and he has locked me out of all of our bank accounts. He moved all our money. He had been doing it for months. I’m 66 years old and I’m on Social Security. I am having to start my life over at 66 years old. I just can’t afford it at this time.. I’ve been searching for support groups and I’ve been involved there. But I think I need more. I’m still in disbelief that I allowed it to happen. I’m in disbelief that he wasn’t the man that I thought he was. There’s just so many things that my mind just keeps playing over and over and over and my health is declining. I have been to my doctors. They are all aware of it. I know I can get through it. I just have to find a way.
