I was in an abusive relationship for 13 years. I was scared to leave. I had 2 daughters, I wasn't working and I just felt as though I had nowhere to go. My ex was mentally and verbally abusive plus he drank excessively. He told me I was stupid and that no-one would ever want me especially with 2 kids and I believed him for so long. Eventually I got myself a part time job, saved enough money and moved out.
I've now been happily married to a great guy for the last 5 years and my life is so much better. My ex? He's still a drunk, single and hopefully lonely and miserable.

I was in an abusive relationship for several years. Both mental and physical abuse. We were married in July, 1978. We found out that he had a medical condition that when put on medication helped him to control his anger and violence. We will be married for 28 years on July 28 and I am happy to say that now he is no longer mentally or physically abusive. Maybe if you are in an abusive relationship or know someone who is, you should have them to talk with a doctor. Sometimes help is available.

I was in an abusive relationship for 4 years. It was emotionally and physically abusive. My boyfriend drank all of the time. When I would say I was leaving he would beg me to not leave, but then he would start treating me bad again. I finally got the courage up to leave him about a year ago. I met someone else that treats me so good and spends all of his time with me. I was very scared to get into another relationship at first, but I am so glad I got out of that one.

My daughter was in one and I put the guy up against a wall and nicely but firmly advised him to disappear and never contact her again--even though she still LOVED him. Love is truly blind. If a person abuses another person, it's not love, it's dominace. This guy threatened to kill himself if she ever left him. I told her I would buy the jerk the gun! He did go away and is now in prison for armed robbery and attempted murder. She is now doing better, but still is attracted to the losers. What a bummer to me.
Good luck

i was in an abusive relationship for about 3 months total. the guy verbally/emotionally abused me + he knew what pissed me off + what i couldn't refuse so he always used those things to get his way.sometimes i ask myself why i went out with him in the first place, but then i remember that he was really sweet to me + pampered me until i finally agreed to go out with him. he was really immature in our relationship + after a while i just couldn't take it anymore so i broke up with him. he wanted to be friends with me + i agreed, but now i'm thinking of ending our friendship for good.
hope my story helps :)
