he used to constantly berate me believing i would go back to exes 1000s of miles away, he would threaten my housing, call me names and such most likely out of hurt and fear of being replaced. 3 weeks after he discarded his ex is seen riding around in his passenger seat. "i was only helping her" he told me when i confronted him out of a panic, when i was left to scramble for housing due to his…
Is this a good book for getting in the mind of an emotionally abusive father towards his son or is the book primarily in the context of a man towards a woman they're in a relationship with? submitted by /u/CivicGuyRobert [link] [comments]
Hello, my friends father verbally abuses her by calling her things like dumb bitch, retard and more. He controls how much interaction she has with her friends, she is never left alone, she must always be supervised. She has expressed wanting to self harm. What can she do to help her situation? It seems like he really cares what people on the outside think about her and himself because of the…
I am a Female in her lates 20. My family found out that my father was putting spy cameras in the bathroom when we traveled. I have been dealing with this with therapy and my family support. We cut ties with him. However, I found that his wife knew what he did for over 4 years. She used that information to blackmail him.

Okay, so any time I bring up something that bothers me, or try to talk about how to repair something he did, he flips out on me. He has called me names. I’ve told him to stop, and he hasn’t. He called me a hypocrite but then wouldn’t tell me why. He also said I’m a “distraction,” which hurt. So the next day I asked him, “Do you like me?” At this point, I was feeling insecure. We’ve been on and off…

I have a Bestfriend, whom I also have feelings for- We've had two (verbal) fights this year. Really over dumb things if you ask me- honestly just a lack of full, proper communication. As painful as they have been... idk if it is emotionally abusive? But when I have vented a bit to my friends... a few have said he really is mentally abusing me. But idk about that. I guess I can see a few reasons…
I have moved countries to be with my former ex who was abusive. Everyone fell for false promises before, maybe me more than most. Me and my cat are stranded with a man who gets further and further from the person I fell in love with each day. He tells me I'm worthless, he hates the person I am, I'm not a real woman (I'm transgender), he's laid hands and he prohibits me from doing certain things.…
TW: anger issues, anxiety, arguing, gaslighting My partner has anger issues. I love him very much but he is draining the life out of me. He is living in my home and has 'nowhere else to go' so I'm stuck here, in a situation I truly can't cope with. He has money to buy a home, but has not found any he likes yet. I arranged a viewing for one the minute he found it, we saw it, he didn't like it and…
