Absolutely! Anyone going through the same thing should know that they're never alone and that there is always help and support to escape an abusive relationship

"i have proof through her apologies" is not the flex he thinks either. lots of abusers are so demanding that their victims often feel or even just fake extreme guilt when they 'do the wrong things', because of how much abuse they receive from 'setting off' their abuser - and often times these things are just normal reactions to being abused (like abusing substances or acting out). its manipulation on top of manipulation.

I grew up with domestic violence. His temper would flare at the slightest thing and then my mother would just go about her day normally the next. All of us girls (daughters) also became his targets but there is nothing you could do as a kid since parents were allowed to hit their kids back then. I am glad she got Freddie the heck out of there. The thing that happens is you sort of normalize it. The devil you know versus the one you don't. After you get out, you are still traumatized and may have PTSD.

just a note....I'm a guy and I suffered from abuse by my wife. she changed after we moved into together and had bouts of explosive rage. after 2 years, she began to try to physically attack me. I didn't hit her back because I know if the cops came she would lie and get me in trouble, so I just got out of the situation. If somebody abuses you, they won't change. do what it takes to get out. I later found she cheated on me and moved in with the guy. within 3 months they were beating each other and getting each other arrested. so GET OUT. whatever it takes.

So sorry that you experienced this abuse. It’s odd that men aren’t believed. Women can be just as broken and damaged as men. I believe that I have a male neighbor that is being abused but his girlfriend is so tiny and angelic looking that it’s doubtful that anyone would believe him. If he ever needed a witness I could only say what I’ve heard through the walls. Hopefully he leaves because she is pure evil, simply packaged in innocence.

I was in a very abusive relationship I feel so bad for people who are married with kids with these people. Thank God she got out.

How awful. I’m glad she is safe. She is an excellent actress. Wishing her peace, love, and happiness.

Sorry to hear about Christina Ricci's first marriage. I've been in abusive relationships as well and the trauma bond is real. However, I feel blessed that I was able to get out while 2 months pregnant with my son and my 2 girls who were 6 and 2 at the time.

My ex husband started beating me when I was 3 months pregnant. The first time was literally because I asked him how come other people could say what's bothering them. I was very young and stayed for 9 years despite terrible abuse and disrespect on every level, because I was hoping to keep our family together, and make things better over time. No one knew. No one. Don't ever think that you understand people and what they go through when you envy them or even passing judgment.

This is so heartbreaking 💔. My closest cousins went though the same things where there spouses changed 180⁰ during their pregnancy. I'm so happy she made it through with her son in one piece

I'm so glad she got out of that marriage and has a good relationship now. She is one of my favorite actresses. Shame on that asshole for hurting her and their son. I can relate to this. I also escaped an abusive marriage. I wish her nothing but happiness and lots of blessings 💗🤗

Lived you too girl. Glad we both got out. My ex-mother in law (his mom) actually shot & killed him. That's says alot about who he was. My 1st husband started abusing me when I found out I was pregnant. It was awful. It was by the grace of God he came into this world. He's 24 years old now.

Proof that anyone can unfortunately become victim of abuse 😪 power to Cristi and all the others who have endured and have left

OMG I had no idea. I am so glad she was strong and she has a platform so thats really good to show other people going through that that it is possible to get out and get help and survive. ❤ She is so beautiful. I have always liked her work.

My ex husband gas-lighted me after our wedding. He was amazing before we moved in with each other but after the wedding he became dismissive and and explosive. He allowed the people in his family and friends to disrespect me. The moment that I started to realize that he was being verbally and emotionally abusive to me and our boys was when my youngest son at the age of 4 called me a stupid bitch. My son (a semi-verbal autistic individual) would never have spoken that way to me or anyone else because I've never used that language around him. I had no reason to. He didn't know what that word meant. After my daughter was born my grandfather and uncle died simultaneously and that is when the pushing and shoving started. Sometimes the abuse starts off with just words and lack of affection. After experiencing the loss of my grandfather and uncle I was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety. He and his family took the children to an undisclosed house that he had another family with unbeknownst to me at the time. I got into a verbal argument with his sister involving my daughter at their school. The way I saw it was at least my then legal husband and his family would be forced to stay in the United States with the children while the legal process took over our divorce and custody battle. During the separation I had the choice to give temporary custody of our children to their dad or foster care. Of, course I chose their dad because I knew that with his and his family's actions and their background I would be able to get my children back. I was able to get my record expunged. A lot of people look down on me because of the choices that I had to make but I am not the woman that is going to back down. I guess some people think that it's not ladylike to get arrested at your child's school when you know that you have every legal and moral right to be at your child's school. You mess with me and my children you will lose. I am doing a lot better now and I am happily divorced. I was able to get my babies back and now our children have both of us. It's definitely not perfect and our children still have meltdowns over the divorce. My ex husband still needs therapy because he too suffers from mental health problems but I am getting the therapy that I need and the therapy that my children need. A lot of our issues were external but he was raised by a very abusive mother and father. It's not an excuse but I am just glad that we are apart from each other. I refuse to let my children grow up in that environment.

The Pan Am series deserved a second season.

What a survivor! Such a shock to not know the man you marry and father of your child. Exceptional strength and resiliance ⚘

I have lied to protect my child before. Even in the hospital getting pictures and checked out. The moment I changed my names and moved hundreds of miles away did I feel free. Now I have healed with my beautiful child who has an amazing mindset. That's why it's important to stay strong and stand your ground. No matter what your self-esteem is most important for both mother and child.

Good for you Christina! Great you found love!

I remember Christina Ricci from Casper The Friendly Ghost movie. She was probably a teenager at that time. I'm proud of her for staying strong and basically fight for her and her son's survival in an abusive situation. They deserve the best in life, and I'm glad Christina found a way to stay away from her now ex-husband completely.

With all the false accusations that fly around these days, some people would scoff at Christina Ricci's claims and assume that she's just another Amber Heard. However, I'm 99% certain that's Christina's telling the truth. For one thing, her ex was a nobody so unlike Johnny Depp, he couldn't be used as a stepping stone to greater wealth and fame. For another, when women who may or may not have been abused were taking advantage of the Me Too movement, Christina didn't speak up even though it would have been a perfect opportunity to get out of her marriage. That tells me that she was trying to make it work instead of going for the easy way out. However, when the lockdown happened, Christina was stuck with her husband 24/7. Her decision to reveal her marital problems struck me as an act of desperation from someone who tried to handle it on her own but realised that she needed help. That makes me admire her more than I would have if she'd come out during the peak of the Me Too movement. Admitting that you need help isn't as easy as people might think and because of women like Amber Heard, Me Too has lost its momentum and isn't taken very seriously anymore.

All of his behavior and treatment of her was because he needed her to support him so he had to keep her under his thumb by using fear.

Lockdown or not, leave with your son! I understand her situation, I experienced the same thing. My attempts to sneak away while he was gone or passed out didn't work for reasons I couldn't control, or I was just too weak and chicken. I look back on that time and hate the pathetic person I was. I am so glad she finally got out of it. I think she's phenomenal.

She is so lucky she got full custody! This way she doesn’t have to send this boy to the abuser! Many women, in this broken court system, are forced to share custody with abusers!!!!!
