Psychological abuse

Your boyfriend has the viewpoint of Maniac from John Lee's 6 love styles. It is rather a psychological illness that has cure. You should read more about it if you are interested. I did go through some psychological abuse in my previous relationship. I hated drama, but my ex liked it a lot. So sometimes he used to create artificial situations by lying to get me upset about him. I don't know what kind of mentality that is. But whatever he did affected my grades in school sometimes. I suppose he was the type who found excitement from relationship dramas.

I haven't and I also have not put any of my exes through this, at least that's what I know.

Yep I did. The relationship just ended after six years. He wasn't like that at first and it was gradual- at least as far as I went. He yelled at the kids, especially my son, almost from the start. I didn't say anything at first thinking that the kids needed a strong male in their lives and that maybe their behavior would get better. Behavior never got better and he would yell at the smallest things. I got to the point where I didn't feel like I could even talk without it turning into a lecture from him about why I was wrong about something I said. He constantly picked on me about what I would watch on tv. Finally he hit my youngest daughter after I told him not to. Suffice it to say he went to jail that ight and has not walked back into my house since then.

You did the right thing. One should not compromise his/her dignity even if it means living alone for sometime.
