Has anyone ever inflicted bodily harm on you intentionally?

My early adult relationships would make a good horror story, ctry, when it comes to abuse. I was repeatedly violently abused by my first husband, and the next one was only slightly better. I try not to look back on those days to much because I experienced a lot of pain -both mentally and physically. Let's just say that I finally promised myself that I would go to prison rather than ever be used for anyone's punching bag again.

Nothing like that, but my sister when she was fairly young used to scratch me so hard it bled. I have never been the type to fight back so I let her do it and tried not to yell or anything because supposedly that would make her do it more if I reacted. I used to have marks all over my arms when i was little from the scratched every time she got mad. I'm so fair skinned that every little scratch leaves a pink mark for a while after it heals, but they fade away after a while. I don't think it's worth getting back at people, even if they really abused you. The best thing to do is just leave, remove yourself from their influence, although that's much easier said than done in the case of abusive relationships.

A lot. Several times. Earlier this week, my old man's been skulking around my mom's purse. I was on my computer in my bed at midnight. A not-too-good argument broke out, and suddenly he smacked her around and beat her up! Then he laughs it off despite her complaints! Last year, on 7/13/2007 last year, I was too tired to go to my vocational rehab appointment because that hardass made me take out the trash at night. I tried to tell him what happened, but when he didn't listen, he even tried to kill me by strangling me! We fought each other, but since there was almost no one to stop him, i was on my own. I still remember that punk gave me a face scar on the right side of my face! I had to bite his hand off to make him let me go, but he held on tighter while beating the crap out of me. He isn't a father. He isn't even a real man! Not at all. He's just a spoiled brat of a domestic dictator with military experience who uses violence to get what he wants! I fought him off several times years before, but I always end up on the losing side. He needs to go to either an insane asylum, or even to prison for a long, long time. This is why I want to make extra money, even become a rich person to move out of that emotional vampire's house so that I wouldn't be haunted by him anymore.

I can honestly say no! I am very glad too, i do not believe i could take any physical abuse..I have had my share of mental abuse though,and abuse of the mouth,like people putting you down, but not phyical...I would have had that idiot put in jail and i would have filed charges on him..My God that just hurts thinking about having my teeth knocked out....

I had to sit here and let that digest in my brain before I could type up a response... Ok I've picked my jaw up off the desk and all I can say is WOW!! Oh my gosh!! I pray that you pressed charges against his ugly (that's being nice) @ss!! And I hope he paid for your false teeth!! I'm so sorry such a thing happened to you. He'll get his one day. You may not be there to see it but he'll get his one day. Yes I've had the crap knocked out of me a few times. When I was 18 I had moved out of my parents home due to a fight and my ex beat me almost daily. The last time he beat me is when he broke my foot. I had to hop to a phone booth and call my mother to come and get me which of course she did. She went after him a few times but could never catch him at home or at work.

I have experienced being physically abused like that but I was extremely lucky in that once the bruises had healed I had no long term damage. To lose your teeth must have been awful. The only fight I ever had was at shcool over a boy with another girl and someone said that a teacher was coming so we stopped fighting and walked home together. .

it sounds like our x's are related. i delt with the whole loss of teeth as well. my x husband kicked me in the face with steel toe boots, knocked out the right side of teeth as well as disfiguring my face. i wake up at night still seeing his shadow in my doorway. im remaired with 2 girls but its still an ordeal to deal with. i get phanthom pain is what the docs call it, i wake with face pian and its like i feel the butcher knive going into my stomach, i was stabbed 3 times by him. but for revenge, i got mine, im happy and he is misserable thats all the revenge i need :-).

Well yea..in various ways...My mothers exhusband molested me and hit me a couple times, my mother jacked me up against the wall once and hit me, I was in a domestic abuse relationship for a yr, I've been in bar fights, street fights, was brutally beaten and raped at 17 and the list goes on..... BUT thats not to say i've not done damage to others by any means... What did I do to get back at any of them....nothing really....karma gets them in the end every time ;-)..How'd I deal with it all...various ways...not good ways either for the longest time but that was then and this is now ya know...

What a shocking thing to happen to you all those years ago. Did you ever report this moron to the POlice? He should have received jail sentence. I have not had anyone be physically violent to me, although with my current husband, sometimes I get a bit worried when he looses his temper.

untill now no one has ever inflicted me intentionally.I think giving anyone bodily harm is not good.u have to be a good person then only people respect u.

No, I have never been in a situation like that! And I am so sorry you were!! Did this guy not go to jail for what he did to you? That's terrible! Were your kids in the house when he attacked you? How did you get help? He moved to Arizona!?! That's where I live X.X

I have never been an abusive relationship like this with a man, but I have with my father. As a child I was beaten by my father many times. Not just me either, we all were, my mom and brothers and sisters. He was a very mean drunk and he would come home and beat on us for no reason at all. He would make up reasons in his own head. One time he came home and he picked up the TV, back then big and heavy, and threw it across the room at my mom. In the morning he wouldn't believe us because there was no way he could pick it up to put it back and it took 3 of us to do it.
