The part about his possessiveness is a real red flag, and could become dangerous, especially now you've left. I'm glad you're a long way away.
I know it's hard, but why not give yourself some time to gain perspective on what's happened? I think over time you'll be glad you left when you did.
Very few 25 year olds have everything in place, but if that is your goal, start now. The days go slow but the years fly by. Work out what you want to do with your life and go for it.
I am so grateful for the 12 hour long drive between us. It got to the point where I would dread someone talking to me at a store, on a bus, on a line checking out because of what he might say. I wouldn't even keep my phone on me because I didn't want him to accuse me of secretly talking to someone... I have only been gone a week and I swear I feel like the last couple years were a movie. When I am in front of him I turn into a version of me I never want to become again.
