    Trapped with an abuser for over a month of lockdown

    Thank you for your kind words and prayers. It's really full on for me at the moment. I do need the Lord's protection. I am taking it as an opportunity. An opportunity to get stronger in God and claim some territory for the Kingdom.

    Trapped with an abuser for over a month of lockdown

    Thank you, for your prayers and kind words. Yes I can go out to an extent - the time outside has just been extended to 3 hours instead of 1, although the daylight hours are short. One evening, after dark, although not late, I was followed and harassed by a man on a scooter. There was just no one...

    Why does God claim He care when it is clear he doesn’t?

    But I believe that the prayers of believers worldwide have helped bring the world towards a solution and brought about many other positive changes on individual and national levels. The world isn't just sick with COVID. In Luke 18:10, we are exhorted to pray and keep praying and not to give up...

    Trapped with an abuser for over a month of lockdown

    Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately, I am stuck. This is why I am coming under attack, because the enemy knows I'm vulnerable. I'm trying to push through for a miracle, to see the arm of God.

    Why does God claim He care when it is clear he doesn’t?

    Firstly, I am very sorry to hear about your wife. This is heartbreaking. You have every right to be angry. It's your pain and frustration. God can understand that anger and pain. Take it to Him. He will be there for you. In an ideal world, the one God intended, there would be no disease. There...

    Trapped with an abuser for over a month of lockdown

    It's a reasonable assumption, as this type of heterosexual union doesn't exist in every country.

    Trapped with an abuser for over a month of lockdown

    Thank you for your prayers. It's very difficult to even just get through each minute. The other stuff is something I'll have to deal with in the long term.

    Trapped with an abuser for over a month of lockdown

    Thank you for your prayers and encouragement. I have no one here. I believe that after the New Year, I'll be able to travel again, but this is such a problematic time. It's not just about how I could suffer due to COVID, but also the perceived risk that I could be a carrier. I am in the lions' den.

    Helplines, but there's still the procedure if you want to get any practical help. It has to be a crime with evidence. Moreover, everything's restricted at the moment, and services are already strapped. This is why bullies do what they do and when - they know they've got you trapped.

    Trapped with an abuser for over a month of lockdown

    Thank you Hazelelponi. I'm very happy for you that you got out of that relationship. Unfortunately, where I am, things have to be drastic before there's any help available. Some activists are trying to change that, especially during this lockdown, when domestic violence has escalated. It will...

    Trapped with an abuser for over a month of lockdown

    I would know what to do in Britain. The problem here is that unless I'm beaten up physically, and get a medical report to take to the police, nothing will be done. I am being menaced and traumatised in other ways and every day is a minefield.

    Trapped with an abuser for over a month of lockdown

    No, a man. I am a woman trapped with an abusive man, who isn't working right now. I am, but from home. I have no colleagues. I am in a country where a civil union can be entered into by a heterosexual couple. It has many of the features of a marriage, except for inheritance laws, but I don't...

    Trapped with an abuser for over a month of lockdown

    I have a legal partnership, a civil union. I can't leave until the COVID restrictions, as I have to travel to another country, my home country.

    Trapped with an abuser for over a month of lockdown

    Thank you so much, I am trusting in Jesus, but feel less alone for sharing my troubles with a wider community. It's a dangerous situation, because I am at the mercy of a bully, with no one to turn to here.

    Trapped with an abuser for over a month of lockdown

    In a relationship where the true nature of the marriage partner has gradually revealed itself and I have battled spiritually for years, in the belief that things would change (as indeed they have for periods of time), and in a second lockdown in a country not my own, where I have no friends or...
