Answer 1

I remember when I was little my mom and dad would fight alot and I didn't really understand why back then but now when i look back ( they are seperated now) on it its like theres this hatred that builds up bcuz the fact that my father went against everything he said about how to resepct a woman and it really mad me mad and like everytime i try to forgive that Darkness of the memories always comes back and shows how low and sicking he was and it really hard to tell people about it bcuz you dont want them to know bcuz they have a nice and loving family and you dont and its just embrassing to have to feel left out bcuz u don't have a father there to help you threw the stuff that u need him for in life but I have learned to deal with it.

Answer 2

I know at least 3 people who have been in abusive relationships. Keep in mind that there is also emotional abuse not just physical. There can also be mental abuse. I witnessed first hand all of the abuse between these three people. One was my mom and my real dad. He used to tell her that she was no good. He would make her feel like she wasn't good enough. Not even good enough to live. Many times he held her down and tried to push a pillow into her face and made my sisters and I watch. He would tell her to kill herself. That the world didn't need her, that she was a terrible mother. The air she breathed was too good for her. He wanted her to change and ended up destroying her being. Then one day my sisters went to the store and found her in the hallway running because he had bit her, and slapped her and was in the prossess of raping her until she socked him in his jaw. My little sister saw the whole thing. My mom pressed charges, and we moved out. Now she is a newlywed. The other one was my aunt. She used to get slapped, beat, pushed around, and tormented by her husband. He was pull her by her hair. And even abuse their children. He would push the oldest against the tub. Yelling and calling her different names. Her mother was powerless, but they ended up getting cousiling and she left him for awhile until the doctors said he was good enough to live with. He never laid a hand on her ever since. My cousin was the victim of an abusive relationship. Her boyfriend would try and control her. Often making her cry. Calling her different names. Demeaning her and making her feel worthless. I would find her outside crying and she would tell me she didn't want to live. She couldn't tell him it was over. She said she loved him. Then he finally snapped and hit her. Everyone seen and she denied that he slapped her. She said he was merely playing around. Till she stopped comming by and started making excuses for wearing long sleeves. Finally she gave up on changing him into a better boyfriend and found a new love who she is still with and who treats her well.

Answer 4

I was in an abusive relationship for 14 years. Yes that's a long time but when you love someone and they keep telling you things like if you hadn't done or said whatever you begin to believe it's your fault. And they always tell you their sorry in the beginning and they'll change and you really want to believe it so you stay.An abuser (at least most from the women I've talked to) will build you up in the beginning of a relationship just to tear you down. They will distroy your selfesteem so you stay because you think you deserve everything you get. I was hit, choaked, had my hair pulled out, my nails broken off backwards, hit with pool ques and the last time before I left the police came just in time to keep me from being tied up and kept in the garage "until I learned to do what he said". I think alot of us that are abused by our spouses were alson abused at home when we were younger. I know I was. Not by my Dad as he died young, but by my Mom. She would hit me with whatever she could get her hands on where ever it landed, throw things at me and lock me in the attic when I didn't do to suit her. You have to know though that these things happened before they came out with abuse laws for parents or spouses. Use to when a man beat his wife all the police could do was get you for disturbing the peace and tell you they couldn't interfear in domistic situations. The last time when the police saved me was when they first started interveining and he still wasn't arrested, they just removed me from the house "until he cooled down". Good thing for you I went to counceling, I wouldn't have been able to answer your question.

Answer 5

I personally have been in an abusive relationship. I can answer some questions. Let me know what I can do to help!

Answer 6

i was in an abusive relationship, but i would rather not tell "war stories"..mostly because it's hard to explain unless you've been there. my ex was emotionally and verbally abusive and it's an every day thing..in one way or another.
i got out of the situation (the marriage anyway) and keep very limited contact, only for child visitation purposes. he still somehow tried to "get to me", it seems, even though he remarried.
i wish he would seek help for our children's sake yet i know he doesn't see himself as having a problem.
can't think of anything else unless you have questions, i will answer.

Answer 7

my sister was beat for 12 years. she finally left after he beat her to the point she couldn't move. she came to with him holding her and crying. he was scared he had killed he. after that she left while he was out messing around. i witnessed him kicking her in the face when i was 12 years old. he broke her jaw 3 times, she had to have it wired shut. he busted her head open twice. she never got stitches. he said she didn't know how to shut her mouth. as a grown women myself, i will not put up with a man who feels he has to put his hands on me. i will pick something up and hurt him back. i can't stand to see any female go threw any kind of abuse from a man. they are stronger then a female. i feel what my hands can't do. a bat will do. a knife or brass knuckles.
I'm happy she got out of that relationship. to this day she her self is abusive to people around her. because what she went threw, she abused me, beat me with ball bats, extension cords, you name it. she later apologized. i forgave her, but i don't associate with her. i live 50 miles away from her, and haven't seen her in 10 years. she's crazy. i am not abusive to anyone. i know how it feels to be hurt.

I dated a guy who turned out to be a monster. I still have scars from pea gravel being imbedded in my shin from when he shoved me down. Lost THAT loser in a hurry...

I also had a friend who spent more than $30k on a guy in ONE year. He was emotionally and mentally abusive to her and to anyone that got in his way of getting to her, including me. Sadly, I had to end the friendship. She knew she needed to get out but kept going back and forth with him.
