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 have always blamed myself for the way I have been treated. I feel like I let it happen and as soon as someone sees that you’re a push over they use that to their advantage. Maybe I thought that was what it was all about.

    I sometimes wonder if we subconciously pick friends and partners who we feel are strong enough to protect us in some way? Of course this back fires, because they either don't protect us or it them thats the problem.
