I know, my friend used to tell me how her husband would slam on the brakes in the car and if she didn't hold the children good enough he would beat the shit out of her, this was before car seat laws. Also if I remember right he used to hit her stomach so she would lose the baby.
When my daughter was with my granddaughter's dad he would also beat the shit out of her when I was at work it's hard and it's scary. One of her boyfriends used to threaten to burn the house down while I was in it.
I guess that's why I'm still single at 56, I just don't trust men, or people in general any more. They seem nice until you let them get close to you. I don't hate men, I want to find love but I think I'm just so broken it won't happen, and that's ok.
Yes my ex never laid a hand on me it was verbal and emotional abuse, and thankfully I had my own place and a good paying job, not everyone is so fortunate.
My last longterm wanted me to move in with him, and even talked marriage, it ended when I moved out of my apartment into a house with my daughter. He realized I wasn't giving up my independence. I don't think he would have hurt me, but we just had no chemistry, and I won't be in a relationship just to be in a relationship.
