Hi my name is Scotty
I've never posted on something like this before but I am at a loss
4 years ago I married my husband Jay in 2012
It has been a disaster.
Before Jay I was a typical gay teen, went out had fun and friends. Then I met Mark. He is and I still believe he is the love of my life. Things didn't work out. When I met Mark he was 19 I was 20 *this is 2007 and after I return from a study abroad we dated long term
I have never been more sexualy or emotionally attracted to anyone more than Mark.
After our breakup I went into a deep depression. I moved away to get away from him and after months of not speaking he called me the night I moved to another city. I didn't come home.
Years later I met and married jay. What's worse is I proposed to Jay minutes after seeing mark at a music festival, the first run in we had in years
I felt I needed to move on and that Jay loved me.
I had only known him 3 months. We eloped and we're married 4 day later.
I saw his true self the day after we got home from eloping. His temper, a valcano, made its first apperance. The first time he threw glass at me a month later, slicing open my leg, I called my parents. We all met for dinner.
It did not go well.
I knew then, four years ago, I did NOT want to be with jay. My *Catholic parents, after me crying my eyes out and then excusing myself to the bathroom told Jay I was now his problem and they were done with me.
Since then I've spiraled into a four year long depression. I thought a dog would help and I got a good one
Jay proceeded to bring home 2 more without my consent but demanding of constant care he doesn't help at all with them and it's become a burden
Worse, the abuse has amped up over time. He's driven all my friends away, blocks numbers on my phone controls and takes the money I earn and the physical and mental abuse has amplified significantly
I have no where to go... and worse Mark called my last week and tried to reconnct. Jay found out and destroyed it. I'm two thought away from checking out but I know I'm still young beautiful and so capable of... something. I just have no idea how to get out of this toxic marraige. His threats of violence and acts of violence I can not understate. What do I do?????

@scottycharles1,
Go to the cops. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

Take the dogs with you. Tell them you are being abused at home and have no one to turn to, that your family has abandoned you.

For women, there are shelters. You may find such not to be the case where you live (particularly with dogs). So you might do well to find another apartment and/or stay with any friend you've got left. And you may need to surrender one or all of the dogs (landlords don't necessarily want dogs as they can be seen as loud and/or destructive and/or dangerous).

But you need to take care of yourself, so get your ducks lines up (and that means withdrawing funds and talking to HR at work and telling them you have to move abruptly and asking them if they can accept mail for you for a while and if they can help you out at all).

Then go. This is not about Mark. This is not about your parents. This about you saving your own life. Because it is not going to get any better.
