leaving an abusive relationship

I was living with my partner when social isolation arose. We were no longer getting along at the time, and spending all hours of every day together made it even more difficult to me. I would have to do my therapy sessions in my room, so I left a radio playing on the door to avoid leaking, as the sessions were very focused on my relationship difficulties. After one of these sessions, I decided that I was no longer able to keep calm and carry on. Then I broke up, he left very pissed off and tried to harm me. Only after some more therapy sessions I was able to identify that I as in an abusive relationship. I learned that changes in a pandemic are not easy, but it is better to feel good inside your home and comfortable with your mind and heart than to suffer from the fear of change. And after all, the pandemic did me good: it accelerated what was already going to happen, without further sufferings.
