That let someone mentally, emotionally or physically damage them...Today my boyfriend and I got into a really bad argument. The argument also occurred in front of our son. It has never gotten this bad ever to the point that he physically put his hands on me by grabbing me extremely hard on my forearm and then proceeded to push me against the wall by using his hand around my neck.

We have gotten into arguments before but never to this point. The extent it had ever gotten to way yelling back and forth and him telling me to leave the apartment and when I would go to do it he would grab my arm to keep me from going.

I love my boyfriend so much but I feel like it's a constant battle. All I ever wanted was to raise my child in a loving home with parents that stayed together which is the opposite of how I grew up.

I have turned into the girl I always said I'd never be.
