Need to vent bad

Having lived in a highly toxic drug induced abusive relationship myself, please be safe. Document EVERYTHING, record when you can. Especially if you live in a one party consent state. Do not verbally engage unless it’s recorded and get everything in text and or email. This is domestic abuse. You have every right to stand up for yourself and have firm boundaries as to how you will allow her to behave around you. The court system will not have your back as a man you have to be smart. I hate the “justice” system. It’s insane how men are treated so unfairly. Especially when most narcissistic abuse is from women. No contact is what you need. So if that means getting a restraining order do it. The first person to get one is the one that will be believed especially if you have evidence. Do not warn her or threaten her with it. She will beat you too it. Trust me, my ex did this exact thing to me. But luckily for me I was a woman and they believed me more(I had lots of proof that I was sober and in treatment, videos of him lurking around around my place at night high, etc) I hope everything turns around but your first priority is to get away from the toxicity as much as you can to maintain your sobriety.

Yes completely agree. The justice system is super flawed and men need way more proof than women do sadly. The best thing he can do to protect himself is not engage with her at all. Stay in his room and call the cops. I agree with you. Staying calm is the best way to convince police who the aggressor is. Especially if she is using meth she will not be able to contain her aggression.

I agree with all the others urging you to get out of there and take care of yourself first. She’s making her choices and she’s responsible for her, and you can’t control all that. You can control you, and whether she drags you down or gets you entangled in trouble with the landlord or law. I totally get that you have feelings in your heart and it can be hard, but you can’t do anything for her if she isn’t having it and you certainly can’t do anything for her if she gets you caught up in some bullshit. Take care of you, and if it makes you feel better in your heart, keep an eye on her and do what you can for her when she’s ready and it will make a difference.
