My boyfriend and I broke up today. We dated for nearly a year. In the beginning, it was so sweet.... he was so sweet. In the past few months, he's abused me. Physically and mentally. Hes pushed me down, grabbed my hair, thrown me, grabbed me maliciously, and more. He's sworn at me, cheated on me, called me names, and described me as things worse than you can possibly imagine. I'm heartbroken because I have no friends. Ive lost them all in the span of this relationship, along with the respect I once had for myself. All I ever wanted was to make him happy, and I would have done anything for him, and he never returned the favor. His sister is my age, and goes to high school with me. She used to be my friend, and is the one who told me to date her brother, but now she bullies me, and gets other girls to ignore me, because of lies her brother tells her about me (I'm assuming). I have never been anything but kind to her always. We keep breaking up, and then I feel crappy enough about myself to let him back into my life. He has done a lot of good things for me as well but at the end of the day I feel worthless because of him. I'm hoping you empowered women can help me feel better about myself, and give me advice. I'm unsure of what I might do.
