hi, sorry for what happened with you. reading your story reminds me of what happened to me before, i had the same situation when i had my first relationship, being with someone who are very abusive verbally, physically and emotionally. and take note it happened in my own country and he is a foreigner. he is very controlling and tried to isolate me with my family and friends. but i am so denial because of my love to him and hoping that someday he will change not knowing that i started to lost respect of myself.im so thankful that i realized it before its too late. my family and friends are very supportive to me. its hard to accept that someone abusing you despite of all the goodness you give to him, but if you wont stop it now, your suffering will continue. you dont deserved to be treated badly just because you are from a poor country. stand for yourself, dont let him hurt you again. you deserved someone better. hope you will have the courage to face his evilness. we will pray for you..Im lucky now with my husband he is very opposite from my ex..God Bless you!

sorry i have not read the whole thread.lol,..anyway, im glad you made a very good moves..your family and friends are your great strength..God Bless you
