Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
My ex had a learning disability and some other comprehension issues, and he used that as an excuse for a lot of his behaviour. Your situation may be different, I hope, but someone who cares for you shouldn't be mean and bringing you down, no matter their circumstances.
His verbal onslaught would continue until he had everyone in tears
When he realised that in joining AA he expressed this out loud as if x y z
So I tried going out with him at some point but he was just immature and nasty
I concluded our personalities just don't match and left
I would have hated to have to have learned how to exist with such a difficult partner
