That kept me feeling prisoner in the relationship until I finally could not take enough.
Since I have left, he is unreliable at work, and he got in a (minor) car accident, but guess what?
He is still collecting a full paycheck, he is still alive, he got his car fixed, and he is still not working on his recovery. The main difference now is that I am not wrapped up in his drama, and so I can move on and take care of myself.
