I have been mentally and emotionally abused by a significant other, and manipulated into doing things I really did not want to do. Although the "implied consent" laws where I live mean I have legally never been sexually abused, I still feel sometimes that I was violated. -

The only thing you want to do after living like that is to go around and keep people happy so that nobody catches a beating. It undermines you and steals your childhood and turns it into a huge big ball of shame. There is nothing that can change it and nothing that can free you from it. It is your own mountain to climb, but when you get to the top, you know that nobody will ever make you feel that way again. You have to get help or you will only get trapped in the endless cycle of humiliation and pain. Then you have to refuse to be conquered and leave all self-pity behind because if you do not, another abuser will find you. I am lucky, I live today because I chose to and that was something "they" could never take away from me!

after my grandmother killed herself my father beat me.....he began beating me at least once everyday......then when i finally moved out and i found this guy that i thought was wonderful...we moved in together and thats when things went donw hill...i was only 17 and he was 38.....he told me what i could wear....when i could speak...when i could go to the bathroom....he was just outright controlling....then when he started to drink is when he really laid into me....he put me in the hospital more times than i can remember and every time my dumb ass lied to keep him out of jail....the only reason i left him is because i told him i thought i was pregnant and he kicked me in the stomach and said he didn't want that bastard child....we have been broken up now for about 5 months and i have to go to court on monday to hopefully get a restraining order on him. -

Thank God. But my hubby used to get hit with switches (tree branches) when he was little. Says they would hit him on the backs of the legs with them. My bro-in-law was beaten by his Mom. There's a witch I'd like to find in a dark alley somewhere! My parents argued, but we were never beaten. -

i didnt know getting hit with a belt was abuse until like last year, and most of the time it is mental and emotional, my parents keep telling me that all i will ever do in life is work at mcdonalds, all because i have like one bad grade, fucking hypocrits, they never went to college n my dad is the manager of a schwan's depot, mom is in college right now, n they had suckier grades than i did n mom is thinking about dropping out
and my brother used to hit me until i would run away and he has made me mad enough that in i think 1st or 2nd grade i tried to shoot him, but now he is at college so i dont have to deal with him at least -

Now I am 57 and I can still hear the tape replaying in my head when things go wrong for me in life. It is like a permanent scar! But I do the best I can to ignore that message. Only my belief in it give it any power! Don't accept those messages as true. Look up and Look forward to a better life. Keep your chin up. Best of luck to you.

From the age of 15 to 23 from my childrens father. He abused me in every way that you mentioned. He thought I was his property and tried to brainwash me into believing that as well. I was in a relationship of imprisonment and I was scared for my life!! Guess what?! Now that S.O.B., is afraid of me!! I'm a survivor and now I don't put up with no ones BS!! I ROCK!! LOL!!
