Have you ever being in an abusive relationship both physically and mentally? your self esteem was so depleted by your spouse that you became an emotional wreck. If you have being in such a relationship how did you get out of it and how did you heal form the abuse.

Well I was and it is a horrible feeling to be put down everyday so much that you believe to believe all the horrible things that are being said about you. I have not been so much physically abused but mentally and emotionally I would say. When we would argue it was nothing but name calling and put downs it made it so I didn't think I could leave him that noone else would want me because of the things he said why would someone you loved and said loved you lie about those things. Honestly though you can't make someone who is in an abusive relationship they have to make the decission themselves, and I found it very hard and was quite depressed for a while and had to build up my self esteem and then I got into a relationship that was so much better for me he is nice and loves me and treats me the way that I now know I deserve.

Hello! i do not think i was ever psysically or mentaly abused by someone..Maybe by my teachers, but they dont count, and it was more an emotional abuse. I can't tell you how to get out of a relation like that, but for your sake do it and do not look back. Call for help if needed :D police no. is 112 :D
