But my roomie and so called 'friend' insults me and puts me down all the time, then every now and then when he gets really pissed even though i dont try and act afraid of him he'll grab me and start shoving me into stuff. He's 6'1 and 165 pounds, psychotic. Well just now we got into a fight and i turned up my computer cause he was insulting me and i wanted to ignore him. Well he went to unplug my computer so i blocked him and when i did he grabbed me and slammed me against the wall. I dont want him to live here, he thinks hes the boss of me even though we live with my mom and I got him the room to begin with. When he left i had red marks on my arms, but he took phone with him...if he didnt i woulda called cops cause he woulda got arrested, marks and all.... so is he abusive?

talk to your mom and get some backup here. This is abuse without a doubt. He is using his physical advantage to intimidate you. Don't even question whether or not this is abuse...it is. You need to get others on your side to get this person away from you. He is an abusive bully. You did him a favor and now he's abusing you?? I'm angry for you. Your mom should be able to get rid of him. talk to her.

I hate to say it but if all of this is as you say it is....makes your mom as abusive as he is....why is she taking his side? I have 4 kids and I just can't picture myself taking sides with anyone who is abusing them....I'm usually an advocate to them.

Yea... Well sadly he gives my mom stuff so shes like 'well i dont wanna loose it' and i cant say what it is cause i dont wanna get my mom in trouble..ya. She kinda mentally abuses me too i guess? Like everyone puts me down, insults me. Even she does. Irony in her doing it is, she got divorced from my dad for mental abuse.

I told her what he did and she goes 'well what did you do to cause it?' and i told her and she goes 'ill tell him to keep his hands off you' even after i told her i wanted him out and she goes 'your the one that wanted him here' well duh then i should have say when he gets gone. So yea, dont see my mom being on my side.

I'd say he was VERY abusive! As soon as possible, you need to tell him that he must find another place to live! If he gives you any static, tell him you are going to file a police report or get a restraining order. He cannot just push you around like that!

Four years of his garbage is four years to long You definitely need to find a way to get your mom to believe you.

yes its abuse and he needs to be reported and also fristly kicked out of your house, you need to tell your mum as well what is going on. Its best to write everything that has happened so that you have a report that you can give to police to back you up.
