Not autobiographical for you, I hope!
Unfortunately it's very similar to my story of CPTSD, especially on a surface level. Of course the details are a little different but overall she's the character I identify with most in English Literature, apart from Lucy Snowe (Villette), Hester Vernon (Hester), and Isabel Archer (Portrait of a Lady) - but they don't suffer from trauma as much as Isabella.
Lucy Snowe was already taken. I've used Hester elsewhere.
There's another random username I keep thinking would be cool, but I can never remember what it is when I need it.
Here's some other info on Isabella and the message I try to spread about DV / SA awareness and relationship abuse, even here on WP:
