Abusive relationships

TheCatWoman

I don't feel like I've ever had a non abusive relationship, I've had 4 long term relationships and whilst the abuse hasn't been physical, its certainly been psychological and only looking back do I see how damaging they've been. I'm so much better off on my own and never want another relationship again.

Does anyone else feel the same?

  • I believe I am in one of those, it’s taken me a long time to realise this and it’s going to take me a lot longer to decide when enough is enough. Very complicated situation and not easy for me to break away but I’ve only just started to see how much being controlled and lead around can affect your mental state. I don’t blame you for wanting to be alone, it sounds very peaceful.

    I'm sorry to hear of your situation. I hope you are ok x.

    Thank you. I manage. Sometimes it’s okay and sometimes it’s awful but I have 2 children I adore and who need me so life isn’t so bad. I totally relate to what CatWomen said about being asked what I would like to do which ends up being something they want to do, then down the line you get accused of never making any suggestions or helping to organise anything. Very confusing.
