What happened to Punky Bear?
Does anyone know what happened to Punkybear? I remember her situation with the boyfriend being abusive and how scared she was. I haven't seen anything from her since.
There is a really long thread from her in the Sexuality and Relationships forum. She's made the right choices for herself, even though it was difficult.
I am not a big praying person but I just said one for you for your continued strength. I don't know you, but I admire you like you wouldn't believe. It takes courage, and above all, CHARACTER to do what you did. You will go far with strength like that.. you don't realise how blessed you are to have that kind of drive.
Keep on doing what you're doing and don't look back. It WILL get better. Think how happy one day you'll be when you look back at this, realising what a wonderful life you would have missed if you stayed with him.

Does anyone know what happened to the first comment? I noticed the first comment is C2. Just wondering.
Good to hear from you. You are a tough cookie to stick with your decision. It doesn't sound like the mother is making it easy for you. Stay strong. Do you have some good friends to occupy your time with? That may help. May I suggest a massage? You will be totally relaxed and may even fall asleep!
You should be very proud of yourself...you have been through a lot and are really being strong. I totally understand the desire to know if he's still trying to reach you, but perhaps if you think about the fact that even if he is trying, so what? You would not be responding anyway. I think we can assume that he has tried. Changing your number was absolutely the right thing to do even though I know how hard that must've been to do. The therapy will really help you too and there are absolutely sunny days ahead!
Thank you for your concern, ladies, this board has helped me so much. I already left him. It's done. I got the rest of my furniture Friday night. His mother was there moderating and she called me a b@#$h under her breath. Then we noticed that some of my furniture was slashed, like with a knife. I think his mother hadn't noticed that yet and when we were talking about it, she started crying and said "don't talk about my son like that in front of me!" She is just crazy. Anyway, I am extremely depressed and I can't seem to pull myself out of it. I know this isn't logically true, but my mind is telling me I was only happy with him. I actually cannot remember happy times without him, if that makes sense. Yes, he did have wonderful qualities and that is what kept me there in the first place. He is a good loving person with a violent temper and a LOT of anger inside and I keep just telling myself that I have to take care of me, not him. I miss him like crazy, but I am not going back. Ever. I know I was lucky that all he hurt was my finger and he could have seriously hurt me or killed me someday. He claims he didn't put the girl in the hospital but it came from a very reliable source that was friends with her and saw her int he hospital. I changed my number so he can't reach me and let me tell you that it is driving me crazy not knowing if he has tried to reach me or not. I have barely eaten at all for three days. I saw my doctor. She perscribed antidepressants and referred me to a therapist. I hope the sun comes out for me some day because I am living in hell right now. Pure hell.
I'm sure it's hard right now, but it will get easier! I think sometimes we miss having SOMEONE in our life more than we miss that actual person. Still, being alone has to be better than worrying every day about setting off your boyfriend's temper. One day you'll meet the right guy and then you'll know you made the right decision. Good for you!
yea it is hard right now. I found keeping a journal was one of the only things that kept me sane. I wrote in it non - stop, including all the things I wanted to say to him. don't worry, you did the right thing! you are young, and you have your whole life ahead of you, no point spending it in a relationship that isn't good for you.
good for you for going through with it. I told you you were strong. most women would have stayed, and it would have never changed.
