Abusive relationships?

Question

Have you ever been in an abusive relationship and felt like it was your fault? Or did you know you just had to get out? I never understood how women can go back to anyone time time and time again knowing that they could possibly lose there life. Love is an excuse and relying on anyone just because they are taking care of you doesn't mean you should take a beating.

Answer

It's so easy for a person to judge a relationship from the outside. I was in an abusive relationship and not only is the abuser hurting you (mentally, physically, emotionally, and/or sexually), but they are also great at manipulating you. Making you feel that "it's your fault", that they "love you", "why do you make me do this", "no one is going to want you", etc. so until you have been in a situation where you have been abused, please keep your "opinion" to yourself.

I have since left my abuser and it wasn't easy. He stalked me afterwards and begged for me to come back, begged for forgiveness. Mind you I chose not to go back, but some people believe their abuser and go back. Again, don't judge something you know nothing about, because if you did survive an abusive relationship, you wouldn't say such things or pass judgment.

Answer

You have no idea what you're talking about as you've never been through it. You try watching a man hold a knife against your child and being told if you ever tried to leave or talk to anyone then there's nowhere we can hide that he won't find us. Being told that he doesn't even need to hurt you, just the baby, and it would be all your fault. Being so brainwashed that you can be being kicked repeatedly one minute and then someone knocks on the door and you have to recompose yourself and be completely normal knowing he's in the next room listening. I was a prisoner in my own home for years. I've had broken bones and not been allowed to deal medical help. I was raped, beaten and abused for years. My only thought was that if I left, he would kill my baby. I genuinely thought that it was safer to stay. Do you have any idea what that is like??? The police got me out after 5 years and he still tracked me down and nearly killed both me and my daughter. He's now fled the country. You have NO idea what that life is like and this post is hurtful and ignorant.

Answer

This post is extremely offensive, andwhile you post a picture saying you don't judge or understand how someone couldn't leave or takes takes a beating.... unless you've been in an abusive relationship,  which it sounds like you have...

You have NO CLUE the mind games an abuser plays on his victim.

This post needs to be taken down.

Answer

I've been in two - one physical and on emotional. Physical one was easy to tell it was bad. Emotional one was harder. For years, I blamed myself.

Answer

An abusive relationship is not something you just leave. It was almost a year before my mom picking us up and left. It was her, me in 7th grade and my younger siblings had to leave our house. He never hit us but the emotional abuse was there, physical for her. We were homeless for a year and a half. Part of the reason it took so long to leave was because we had nowhere to go. Leaving, ESPECIALLY with children is incredibly difficult.

Answer

Yes. The third time he chocked my, I left and threw my engagement ring out the window as I drove away. He was working so I stopped by the police department too. We went to court and I got a restraining order. Don't ever be afraid to leave abuse, your life is so special and if someone treats you badly it's their problem. You will always have support.

Answer

My ex best friend has an boyfriend. It is hard if you've never been there to understand. But it's just as hard to watch someone be that blinded and screwed up not be able to see the light or take the help everyone would throw at there feet. I would CONSTANTLY try to help her leave, in every way I could think of. Her family would try, her ex bf would try... hotlines, counseling, anything she would say I know I know and go back. After a yr and half of this, after he nearly choked her to death and broke her wrist, I had to call it quits. I couldn't watch him slowly kill her. I couldnt beg her and cry to her and be that desperate for her to leave him anymore. It killed me inside. I was terrified every call or text from her parents that it was the one telling me she was dead. I had to walk. For my own mental health. Not a day goes by that I don't feel like a shitty person. But I'd rather never know her fate. It's been 10 yrs and I like to just pretend she eventually left and found a man that wouldn't hurt her anymore.

Answer

Emotionally abusive yes and omg it is not that easy to get out of!!!

Answer

Wtf is wrong with you?!?! It's NOT EASY to just leave. I was with my abuser for 3 years, you can't just up and walk out. You are seriously a disgrace to human kind. I HATE JUDGEMENTAL PEOPLE! If you've never been in that situation before how the fuck do you understand?!?! It took me a long time to leave, I tried SEVERAL times. I lost a pregnancy and lost my self because of it! When I did finally get out it was the hardest thing to deal with, I have horrible anxiety and horrible PTSD from it! I'm now married to a wonderful man... I wish I didn't go through what I went through because it has and always will make me have several trust issues with my husband even though he's done NOTHING wrong. Get off this app, you don't deserve to be.

Answer

Yes. I've been bruised around my neck and face from being chocked and thrown into a wall; I've never left a relationship quicker
