Physical & Mental abbusive

MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ABUSE? I've already experienced such but I did not tolerate the person who was doing that to me. I instead opened up and we talked about his behavior and attitude. Because of me, the person has changed a lot though his attitude sometimes still goes back to his old self, but with a little more reminders, he surely will change.

I have been a vicitm of domestic abuse by my ex-girlfriend. like many men I did not realise I was a victim of abuse at the time. I assumed it was just a typical woman being nasty - criticising, never finding anything nice to say to me only negative things, occasionally slapping me, generally trying to undermine my confidence to make me do whatever she wanted. I was perpetually 'walking on needles', desperately trying to please her without knowing how - one day something was okay and the next it wasn't. I now know that this is psychological and emotional abuse. After we separated, being a woman, of course she took my son and I could not find a solicitor to fight for a man for custody 0- they all laughed. She continued to abuse me by using my son as a weapon against me. She used the state agencies to extort money from me, she used contact as a weapon, refusing to allow reasonable contact between me and my son, insisting II did things her way when it suited her. Unfortuantely she treated my son the same way - discriminating against him because he was my son, (compared with her other children by different fathers). Over time he realised what was happening. i never criticsed her in front of him. He asked for more time with me and she refused. Eventually I threatened her with court action and after 12 years he came to live with me on 9th May 2008. we are extremely happy now and I am not acting like she did. She has reasonable contact and I refuse to use the 'child' support agency to persecute her as I do not believe that sort of organisation should exist in a so-called 'civilised' country.

I have been a victim of mental abuse and a mild physical one too. At first i didn't realized that i was being abused, but then the time came that i can't take it anymore. It was so exhausting, that i thought i couldn't survive. So, when i got the chance to get out of the situation, i did, with no second thoughts. Now, i can say that i am a much happier person though has been a single parent since. I am at peace now and my girls are much better and happier too. Now, i have no regrets, whatsoever. If anyone there, is a victim of these abuses, get out when you have the chance, don't be afraid. You can do it and i can say that you will be happy too.
