Massive hugs and support needed.

Joe is gone. Never gonna see him again. We were out, just hanging out with a few of his friends, agreeing this casually seeing eachother was as far as it would get. Until the end of the night. We were bantering, and he started putting a bunch of wrestler holds on my legs, and then my arms. It hurt like hell. Like legit strength from him and burning pain from me. I screamed and slapped him. He…put me in a choke hold and started squeezing. I remember screaming and I don’t know how but I got free, screamed at him, grabbed my shit and ran. Some really sweet girl who was a friend of his drove me home because she didn’t want me walking. God I can’t stop shaking and crying I was so scared. He had to stop by a minute ago to drop off all the stuff I left in his car, and he told me it was my fault, cause I made him bleed and that made him lose him control. Neglecting I was already hurting and scared when I slapped him, it’s all my fault I guess. God I’m so angry and scared and I can’t stop crying. I was finally settling in, learning how to protect myself from this shit and instead he pulls it on me when I’m drunk and relaxed and doesn’t expect me to be terrified of him now.
 

God I want my mom. I want to hide some place he doesn’t know about and never risk seeing him. I can’t stand having my neck touched. I still feel like I can’t breathe.

Wow it’s your fault that he almost killed you? Or made you think he was going to kill you? What a freaking nut job. I’m so sorry sweetie, that’s absolute bull****. I’m glad you got away and got a ride home. I agree that seeing him again is not an option and I’m glad you got the rest of your stuff from him without issue. There is nothing lower to me than a guy harming a woman and using the excuse “Well it was your fault.” That’s what any abuser says to their victim when they start the pattern of abuse. Wish I could come over and give you big hugs.

Yep. Classic abuser talk. “I wouldn’t hit you if I didn’t love you.” and “If you didn’t make me so mad, I wouldn’t have to hit you.” **** that. I’d have had the cops there when he dropped off my stuff.

Please do not feel ashamed. We never know when we’ll meet someone like this, and they are very very good at hiding that darkness in themselves, very good. I am honestly so happy though that you found out now before things got too serious. I just wish he wouldn’t have scared you so badly. Look for a female teacher. There are quite a few in the field, I live by a girl that is a top kick boxer or something in the world. And I think in the last few years she went into that style of fighting for women. A woman may get cocky about their abilities but when they teach they teach, they do not use fear to teach.
