I am doing a story for my journalism class about dating violence. Emotional and physical abuse that occurs during a realtionship. If you have been involved in that I would like to ask you a few questions. If you could leave me your name & email address as well that would be greatly appreciated. As well as answer these questions:
1) What were some of the early signs of violence you saw in the person?
2) In what ways were you abused?
3) Did you stay with the person or get out of the realtionship? And how?
I just want to you peoples stories. Because then it will make mine good. Thank you so much :)

1) he was never violent
2) emotionally. he used to tell me i needed to earn his love. he was my first and i couldnt imagine being with anybody else, especially intimately. he'd break up with me, get me back. at times he told me he had control of me, he could have me whenever he pleased. he also had days where he completely ignored me or made me feel stupid or used (especially after sex).
3) i stayed with him for three years until he broke up with me, which was the best he'd ever done. it took 2 more years for me to get over him and try being with someone else. was with him from age 15 'til 18. when i was 20 he tried his luck again... and i told him i had better things to do with my life ( i just couldnt imagine all those years of struggling to get over him, coming down to getting back with him. but he taught me a good but undeserved lesson. i dont take crap from any guy now, i love myself, better self esteem and the men i know respect me.

There wasn't really any signs it just happened!
Whenever he was having a bad day or something would go wrong he would take it out on me. It was mostly emotional abuse. He hit me once after I had the courage to leave him and moved on to someone else. We have a son together.
I got out the relationship by standing up for my self and calling the police!

2) i never let it get that far to be other than slightly emotionally abusive
3) I left by walking out the door
