Description
Dear Annie: I’ve been in a relationship with someone who has consistently treated me like a human ATM machine. Every chance he gets, he demands money from me -- often outrageous amounts -- and when I refuse, he throws a tantrum like a 50-something-year-old child. What’s worse is that he earns far more money than I do.
Recently, I’ve started standing up for myself, refusing to give in to his demands and asking him to repay the money he has already taken from me. However, whenever I bring up repayment, the conversation turns ugly. He lashes out, and in moments of anger, he cruelly referenced my struggles with self-harm, saying he wishes I would die.
I use self-harm as a way to cope with overwhelming feelings, but his words only deepen my pain and make it harder to manage. I feel trapped in this toxic dynamic and don’t know how to move forward. How can I protect myself emotionally and financially while addressing this behavior? -- Treated Like a Human ATM
