Soooo, my live in boyfriend who has battled with alcoholism and rage issues has been mostly verbally abusive but put his hands on me twice in the past 3 yrs. Though he’s never struck me he’s passively been rough with me on 2 occasions. He’s not your typical abuser though, most of them are extremely apologetic afterwards. This one will legitimately spend the next few days after an incident fully ignoring me. The last situation that got verbally nasty and he broke up with me was a few months ago. We were separated like 2 weeks (still living together) and he eventually came around apologized and for the third time agreed to get help! Well, he went to his first therapy session on Monday!! And has already made his next appt and will be going weekly. Has therapy helped anyone else’s partner here?? I started my own a few weeks ago and it seems like a long but worthy process but I’m going to stick with it! I believe there’s something going on deep with me, for me to have even stayed past the first blow up. I’d love some honest feedback.
