In 8th grade I started dating. About 5 months into it he became abusive. It started with names and comments (calling me fat, ugly, etc) and turned into sexual/physical abuse (punching until bruising, causing cuts that bleed)One of my good friends told the social worker and he told the principal. The principal didn't do anything, and I kept pushing for my ex boyfriend to get in trouble. I was soon told that if I didn't stop complaining about him I would get in trouble.
At the time I was suffering from depression and cutting. The principal told me that I was the cause of all the problems in the school. I was also seeing a therapist, and she called the social worker and the principal pretended to be him so she'd tell him what was going on w/ me.
I now suffer from depression, cutting, and severe anorexia.
I have 2 questions regarding this..
1.Am I being over dramatic about something that happened 3 years ago?
2.How much trouble could both of them got into had I taken further action?
