The first time he scares you, don’t explain it away. A man who uses fear once is checking how much control he can get with it. That was not “anger.” That was information. If you know this warning, write WARNING. Free guide in my bio. You need a plan, not another breakdown. #MamaTones #ToxicMarriage #ControllingMan #EmotionalAbuse #traumabond

The first time he punches a fuckin' wall, you leave. The first time he screams in your face, you fuckin' leave. The first time you feel afraid, you fuckin' leave. The first time he lies, blames you, gas lights you, refuses to take accountability, you fuckin' leave. The first time he gives you the silent treatment or picks someone else's comfort over your pain, you leave. The first time he hides where he is and gets mad at you for asking, you fuckin' leave. The first time he lies about an addiction, you leave. The first time he makes you the butt of a joke or buy something big behind your back, you fuckin' leave. When he looks at you with those cold fuckin' eyes while you're crying right in front of him, shattered you fuckin' leave. Let's stop pretending for a second. You already know this, you just haven't admitted it yet. When you start hiding, what's going on? When your body starts breaking down and no doctor can tell you why, that is your nervous system screaming at you at the top of its lungs to go, to run, to leave. Because deep down, you already know you should have. If this sounds like your relationship, Mama needs you to wake up before this man destroys what's left of you. Stay here. I'm Mama Tone's.
