Domestic violence, have you been into this situation?

I am glad you got out of the situation No words can diminish what you went through, but I hope everything goes well for you from now on.

I never experienced it. It is also a good thing that you broke up with him. I think he is really in violence. I hope he will stop stalking you.

I haven't been in one and I do hope that I do not experience it. So sorry you had to go through such situation. I hope all is well with you now. You are better off without your boyfriend.

Yes, I was with my daughters "father" he abused her, then abused me. He also verbally abused me while I was pregnant, and bullied me into almost having an abortion along with getting his female friends to do it too, and into almost killing myself twice - while pregnant.

Yes I was married to an alcholic and he hurt me once but was more verbally abusive and he treated the cat very badly. I tried to get a divorce by filing two years before I could. I had to wait for 4 years when he was ready to file. I wanted him out of our lives for good and nothing to do with him. It is not easy when you are in that situation to get out.

I am glad to read that you were able to get away from your ex boyfriend, I am also glad to read that you met and married someone else, congratulations! Mental & emotional abuse is probably one of the worst kinds of abuse that a person can endure, physical violence is bad but that goes a lot quicker than mental and emotional. Its how a person gains control of another person, by playing on their mental state and then on their emotional state. Not just in personal relationships but also work relationships of which I have had it through both. I left one relationship because of physical violence, I had another relationship where I ended up having a mini breakdown due to mental and emotional abuse and I had 3 months off work earlier this year due to another breakdown through work colleagues playing on my emotions and mental state. After the physical abuse relationship I was stronger, after the mental and emotional relationship I was not stronger and my work episode has just left me feeling numb and seriously feeling like I do not care less anymore.

my sister completely manipulated my family to cut me off at every turn - I consider that abuse - I eventually moved out entirely @angelmels

I had a similar experience. But he was only an ex friend not my boyfriend but harassed me and twisted the story when our friend showed my SMS to him about it. He was very angry (minura minura nya ako non stop) and he only stopped calling on my phone after I recorded and uploaded it online so anyone could hear how and what he was saying.
