I have been with a man on and off for 12 years. I was married to a very abusive man when I was younger. The man that I am with now, is abusive. I always said he wasnt and made excuses for him and his temper because he never actually hit me. Lately it is getting worse and I am getting scared for me and me kids. He has raised his hand to me several times, calls me names and puts me down and yells almost containly. Me and the kids miss him when he is gone and we always get back together. I dont know how to live without him. I swore Id never get in an abusive relationship again and no man would ever hit me again, but this type of abuse was so suttle in the beginning I hardly noticed it, it is getting worse and I know how abuse escalates, ive been there, now I feel stupid to let it go so far, now I have to begining trying to detach myself from him so I can learn to live without him. I need to go to councelling but would like the support from others on here too. thanks.
Sorry so long, got rambling and couldn't stop myself
