I had a Dad that thought just because I was a girl, did not mean I could not learn to protect myself. He taught me all the things you would teach a boy (actually, I was supposed to be a boy - SURPRISE DAD!). So, when my husband hit me, I decked him, kicked him as I stepped over his prone body and never looked back.

We had a guy like Luke that did this to our cousin. When my uncle found out he was physically abusing his daughter, he called all the men in the family. We went to his house, dragged the douche out of their house beat the living hell out of him. He called the cops on us but when they heard what he did they looked the other way. We dragged him out of the house again and continued to beat him till he couldn't move. He begged my uncle everyday for forgiveness. To this day we don't know where the douche ran off to. Hopefully he hasn't put his hands on another woman.

I hope you informed others on your socials! The more people know about the abusive monster, the more the abuser will be shunned, turned away and maybe even captured. The police in your area are sadly ignorant of what’s going on, and it’ll cost them their jobs one day.

[@freespirit3891]

Once escaped, NEVER, EVER give them a second chance. Get a restraining order (hopefully they won't ignore it). Move as far away as you can. Change your ☎️ # and tell everyone you do give it to 🚫 to give it to anyone else. Hopefully you can make a new, peaceful life. Oh, and get a therapist to help you try to get over the past. Best to you!!!

Luke didn't change after getting married. He just hid his true self.

[@citadelofwinds1564]

Spot on. These people put on an act until after the wedding. Too many men think the marriage licence is a certificate of ownership and gives them licence to abuse the wife. Some men don't even wait for the ink to be dry on the marriage licence. I knew one woman whose new husband tried to rape her on their wedding night to show her show's the boss (in his words). She fought him off and managed to escape. When she told the marriage celebrant about it, he tried to convince her to go back to the husband, because it was her "duty" to "obey" and "serve" her husband. I suspect he was afraid that it would somehow impact on his own reputation if a woman wanted to end a marriage even before it really begun. Needless to say she did divorce the would-be abuser. The kicker is that the monster was hiding behind the facade of a cleancut, blond, friendly-seeming "nice" guy. I went to the wedding and had a chance to observe how he interacted with people, and he would charm them with ease. So I can imagine that if the woman had later tried to tell those people what a monster he really was, they would flat out refuse to believe her because of that convincing facade.

This was a rough one to listen to. I'm glad Emma got away when so many partners aren't so lucky. Thank goodness she had evidence and I'm glad Luke's mom believed her and not him thanks to it.

What's truly scary is that some women would have believed Luke's pleas at the end and gone back to him. Where he actually likely would have kept good on his word, for a while, until the first rough patch where he would have immediately reverted back to his old ways. Having a lifeline like Luke's mother is SO important for abuse victims!

[@flamelily2086]

My friend was married to a man like this. She worked, but he took her entire salary from her every month. He wouldn't give her any money for any reason. She had to give him a list of things she needed, even down to her extremely intimate items. He would buy everything. My friend said he also used to suddenly turn on her and beat her up for no reason. One day, she was taken to hospital unconcious bleeding from her nose, ears, and mouth. When she regained consciousness in the hospital, she realised that she had to leave him. A man like this never changes, he just gets worse. I am glad Emma's mil believed Emma and helped her.

Onions sweetie onions. My mentor taught me it's like a onion. We peel off a layer & hope it's past us, but then we discover there's a new layer that makes us cry all over again. Please realise that each layer( long cycles) is smaller than the last one was.eventually things like these stories, movies etc will one day no longer be triggers as much as they are now. My mentor had me start watching cheezy old horror movies to start.( the black & white ones at first) most have women as the helpless victims being attacked by monsters, blobs, aliens, when they no longer triggered me I advanced to more extreme ones, bit by bit. It really did help. It's called desensitizeing.. it helps to reduce your ptsd attacks. In my case I need a service dog for my medical conditions, he also helps with my ptsd, and when I have anxiety or panic attacks. He also makes me feel safer, & unconditional love. I have shed so many tears into his fur he had to learn how to swim.🤣🤣🦮 I hope you heal to the fullest and find joy in life again. Sometimes, just stop and think how happy life is just to be free. To eat what you want. To not have to clean or be hurt. (Whatever was done to you) I also kept a journal & wrote everything I accomplished. So when I felt I wasn't healing, doing anything because depression was devoring me. I could read what I did every day(dishes, job hunting, socialization etc ) and felt better. A good mentor or a therapist really can help. & there are places that won't charge you for it. I'm proud of you, don't give up, your worth it. No matter what they/he said, made you believe

If he threatened to hit me I would have said "if you're big enough to hit, you're big enough to get hit back."

[@coralmaynard4876]

Unfortunately, abuse victims are unable to do that. They break the person down psychologically, then physically. At the beginning of the video, the seeds were being planted - "I'll keep you from being lonely." Sweet and innocent on the surface, but knowing what the video was going to be about due to the title and thumbnail, I could read what he was REALLY saying: "You won't need anyone else, I'll be there, you can rely on me alone." That's his way of making him seem like the only one he can trust. Again, normally an innocent statement becomes manipulative. Then, once they're away from ANY support, he'd start building it up and up. Ever heard that if you put a frog in boiling water it'll jump right out, but if you put it in water that's a decent temperature and slowly heat the water, the frog won't even realise it's being BOILED ALIVE? Yeah, that's what happens with abuse victims. In this case, the woman was starting to lose herself - she's still trying to be strong but feels helpless, you can tell in what she's saying that she's beginning to become pacified. She was so lucky she had ONE contact available, most victims don't even have THAT, and the fact it was Luke's MOTHER, she was also lucky she wasn't a 'no not my angel' type, or the type to believe every word he says because 'he's my son'.

I have responded to cases of domestic violence. It does take sheer willpower to keep myself from ramming a large bore needle into a certain body part, both male and female. I do make sure to give the abuser a very cold look at their backs. I hope they get a shiver of fear at least. It is much less common, but women can be abusive too. They get the same look and same desire from me too.

[@coralmaynard4876]

Great work you do! I had to give your comment a like JUST BECAUSE you recognise female abusers as much as male abusers! I mean, you SAY it's much less common, but with how few people actually BELIEVE that women can abuse anyone, there's no way to know how many people are subject to them. It goes from "OH CRAP HE HIT HER!" to "Oh... she hit him..." I mean, people have done ACTUAL EXPERIMENTS on this - men get tackled and women get cheered!

[@estherk4485]

Very sad this brings to light. Domestic violence either physical or emotional and verbal is harmful to the victims. And it goes both ways too. There are actual help out there but hard for some victims to get to because of these dominating significant others, husbands and wives. So glad to hear the mother in law was on the victim's side.

I lived through 6 years of abuse from my older brother starting at 6 and ending at 13 when he was kicked out of the house for what he did to my younger sister. Being cussed at and getting beat up any time he got mad was the normal everyday occurrence. He threatened to kill me and make it look like an accident when I was 7 and when I told my father about it, all he said was, "You shouldn't talk like that." Growing up on a farm meant that he had plenty of opportunities to carry out his threat. After being nearly run over twice in 2 days I realized that he was not just threatening, he had nearly done it. I still have flashbacks and nightmares from 50 years ago. I've learned to live with them. To this day I can still feel a tire rubbing my back as I was trying to roll out of the way. Victims of abuse don't really get over the trauma. They just learn how to live with it.

[@SapphirasMama]

Do what Emma did. Do not fall for the begging, apologizing and the sweet "I love you" cause guess what? Its all lies. It may seem ok for a little while but the pattern will start again. You do one thing and bang the cycle starts again. If you can keep a record, do so. There are many places now that will help women get out of a horrible relationship. They are now starting to do the same for men (well they are here in some parts of Australia). There are animal shelters and vets that do take in emergency housing for domestic violence cases. Get to a shelter that will help protect you. You do not deserve what is happening to you, no matter what your partner says. You do not deserve to be belittled, physically assulted, s**ually assulted, isolated, have your finances taken away, be constantly harrassed and stalked. You are not the problem and until you realise that and that you don't need to stay with them, this cycle will continue. If you gave kids and/or pets, RUN. Take them with you and get your animals and yourselves to a secure shelter. If you have devices that are being constantly tracked, lose them (but only do this just before fleeing). Have a plan and don't mention at all to your partner that you are leaving. This increases your chances of serious injuries or even death (telling them that is). The person you might of known or used to know is no longer that person. Do not give them multiple chances. It won't change anything

This was so hard to listen to.

I grew up in an abusive family so naturally, my first serious relationship was abusive. I broke the cycle and have been abuse-free for many years. I had a lot of help from a women's shelter and they helped me rebuild my life. Not only that, they helped me see the red flags before it was too late.

Sweetie, what you are going through is typical of what a battered woman experiences. Their goals ( your husband’s) is to alienate you, abuse you both physically, emotionally as well as financially. Had you not been able to get away, he would have succeeded in you becoming the perfect slave for him. I shudder to think what he would have done to you,and by the grace of the help from your MIL you are out of his clutches. Pat yourself on the back. What you did took courage. Go to counseling with a therapist well verse in victims of domestic violence. You’ve already started your path to shred the ties to him. You will get better and unfortunately due to the abuse wiser. Don’t blame yourself as you did not know beforehand how he would be. Wish you the best life. You will overcome this.

You have no right to have a wife, have sex, nothing! Its reserved for menand woman not for spoilt abusers! And Luke's mother should teach him a lesson. He is her son. She needs to do to him what he did to Emma. He needs good beatings too

[@theshadowofgod1]

I may not have suffered physical abuse but I sure as hell was emotionally, financially, and most importantly FINANCIALLY abused by both my ex and his mother. I had no sense of identity, just about every dime of my paycheck taken for "rent and utilities", expected to save despite being physically disabled and the only one working. I could NOT finish listening to this when the piece of scrummy crap started begging to be taken back. Worst possible mistake I could've made was staying with him during one particular incident and moving across the country AWAY FROM MY FAMILY! Thank the gods I used the first opportunity to get the hell away. I am SO relieved she was able to rely on his mother for help when she managed to get the hell out of dodge. I still won't know the outcome of this since I refuse to finish.

[@happybakergirl1292]

She dumped his butt and got away!!! he wasn't physically abusive--too easy--but took advantage of me financially and emotionally. His fan club supported his opportunistic ways. I had to get help leaving; got a restraining order and a divorce, all the while he threatened to get his friends to come after me to bring me back. PTSD??? Dunno. I have something. Rambling, all to send you hugs and chocolate and popcorn, too. Walking beside you, cheering you on.

I’m about to pour a fresh cuppa but play it your way: hot or cold, food or drink, the only restriction is your personal taste! *IMPORTANT!* If anyone reading this, man or woman, find yourself in a situation like this, PLEASE don’t stay silent, tell _someone_ because abusive POS’s like Luke can only get away with it by threatening their victims into silence. Don’t be afraid, no one gets to decide your life except you. Blessed be 🙏🏻 Stay safe, go hug your furbabies and remember: you are all awesome 💙🐱💙

[@kimpayton727]

I dealt with this for over 10 years because I had children, he and his family kidnapped my children. It took me 7 months to find them and get them away from him but afterwards I was free... He passed away in 2010 and not a one of his children cared because of what he'd put us all thru. My daughter will be 40 next week, she was 3 when it all happened and it still effects her to this day. 😢😢

[@coralmaynard4876]

It's amazing what children can remember about their childhood... even if your daughter doesn't remember WHAT happened, the feelings stayed. The first few years of a child's life are so critical, in every way possible. I did a Childcare Level 3 course, and it was made clear that the first few years can have a VERY large influence on children as they get older, it's the best time for them to learn, and form bonds and attachments, and they won't like someone who hits them.

[@darianroscoe1017]

Reminds me clearly of my ex (now deceased), but I didn't have a mother or mother-in-law who would back me up...my mother said "you made your bed, now lie in it" and my mother-in-law wrote me a letter saying "blood is thicker than water". My father was in hospital dying of cancer, so I did not bring the issue to him. I am 64 years old, and there is not a day where some aspect of my ex's abuse, verbal or physical, does not come to mind even after 43 years. It is a never-ending mental road, and one must just make it one's life's mission to seek better times ahead, treasure calm and peace and see the best in people (while being aware). Therapy can help if you have a good therapist. Rebuild your life and keep busy with happiness.

[@tbraxton2985]

This one made me cry. Been there. But I left as soon as he changed. I refused to be his victim. Sadly, a restraining order does not really stop a person like that. You often have to disappear from them. As soon as she got away she should have transferred the money out of that bank to another. She could have canceled her credit cards and got new ones and put some protection on her accounts. Or closed them to open new ones if possible. and vanished. People like him are crazy and they know their behavior is unacceptable so they hide it. And, just like in this story, they can easily manipulate others to think you are the problem.

[@lightwork11]

This was difficult to listen to because I had an abusive home life as a child. I felt so sorry for this poor woman imprisoned by her abusive husband. If they'd had children he would have treated them the same way. I'm happy she got away, but the memory of the abuse never leaves.

[@danielbutler578]

My father used to tell about a man who would get drunk on Saturday night and go home to beat his wife. She stopped it by waking him up one Sunday morning with a knife at his throat and telling him to remember that he couldn't stay awake forever. It scared him sober for the rest of his life.

Ah yes, one of those “I’m SUCH a Nice Guy, I can treat MY wife like a SLAVE! And if she dares disobeys me, I’ll BEAT some discipline into her!” God, this guy’s one of those abusers that takes advantage of their partners, then controls, gas light, manipulate and alienate them from others. All because they’re acting like dictators and tyrants drunk on power and disrespect towards women! How Luke could act like an “Golden Angel” to his Mom behind his mask of lies and manipulation, while treating his wife like a slave and punching bag is BEYOND me! Thank God Mrs. Jackson not only believed her DIL, but ALSO defended her against her abusive son as well! I’m willing to bet that Luke got the idea from his so called “friends” in high school or college at the Frat! Who knows, but his behavior and abuse towards his wife, or anybody else for that matter, are inexcusable and unforgivable!

I was recently contacted by my abuser. He was 44 and I was 16. Now he's dying and wants forgiveness while still not admitting he did anything wrong. My stupid head is still so messed up I thought that to be a good person I had to give that to him until my husband reminded me that it doesn't mean I'm not a good person if I don't forgive him. So much ptsd is wrapped up in abuse, not to mention societies expectations. I'm glad the lady in this story got away from this man. Abuse is such a hard thing to get away from. I had to move across the country to get away from that man all those years ago.

[@EnragedErin]

The situation with my mom and dad was like this, except that mom would lie to the police about what dad 'did to her' and that me and my sister were 'just kids and don't know what we saw'. It's a sad yet brutal reality that police don't listen directly to the abused and then speaking to the abuser, not expecting who is lying and just going with it. This scenario seems fictional, but this very well can happen and it sucks to not feel validated with your claims. I bet she felt that way and will have PTSD from not just the abuse but the lack of action from police.

[@1Daphdong]

I went through the same thing! As many do, I escaped with my 1 year old daughter who did not even know how to crawl yet, because he would not allow her out of her cot. I escaped, looking like a refugee from a nazi concentration camp, so much that my own sister did not recognise me when I ran away. Even though this happened 50 years ago I still can not watch violence of any kind, especially against females. The saddest part is that is still goes on and not only to females either, I have seen males be dominated in the same manner.

I hope she finds someone that treats her with the love & respect she deserves & is nothing like how her ex was behind closed doors. I wonder what her ex-husband is doing? He's been disowned by his family, probably got a criminal record for domestic abuse so might not go well at work especially if everyone finds out what he's really like due to charges & his mom saying something. To top it all off he's likely broke cause all his money went towards legal fees, replacing any money he possibly stole while holding all OP's money captive(wouldn't put it past him), compensation for emotional damages & alimony. This guy is broke, divorced, abandoned by everyone(for good reasons) & everyone knows he's a monster. I guess in a sense he has what his wife had(no one to believe/cut contact, no money & all alone, possibly feeling trapped by what happened) but unlike her there's no abuse(maybe some verbal abuse if he tries to interact with people that know) & he can go where he wants & do what he wants mostly
