Im still trying to figure out what I did to deserve the treatment I receive at home with my boyfriend. Everyday I deal with his mental abuse and Im not really sure how much I can take . Please if there is anyone out there that is willing to listen or is going thru the same thing please let me know and maybe we can help each orther get thru . I just really need to talk about this Im about to have a breakdown from all of the hurtful things he says . Im starting to belive in what he says.
Hi Janine. I know that I am a long time replying but I have only just found the Daily Strength website. My situation is a bit different to yours but I know how you are feeling. I was emotionally and verbally abused by my father for a very long time. You MUST NOT believe what your boyfriend says. He is the one with the problem, not you. If you can get away from him you must. I know it is hard, especially as you have children, but you deserve so much better. I left home as soon as I could, and even though he threatened to kill me I got away and made a new life. I know you can too. Please get in touch any time if you would like too.

Thank you so very much for replying. It's nice to have people to talk to that have gone thru the same as you . This web site has helped me so much. Im sorry that you had to go thru that with your own father but I can understand I do not speak to my father and have no worry about him at all . It's just sad that my kids will never know there grandfather. Family is important to me and it just plan sucks. Things have been getting a little better at home with my boyfriend . He is back to work and seems to have a attitude adjustment. There are times that he does have his little comments to say but I have learned not to take what he says to heart. It is very hard to leave . I did leave once but fell for his old tricks once again . Im getting thru it but there are times were I think Im not. I would love to hear from you again. I hope you have a good weekend
This is a great website. You sometimes think you are crazy and that you are the only one, but its good to know that you aren't alone. I'm glad that things are a little better for you, and I hope that they continue to get better.Hopefully now that your boyfriend is working again he will be better. Leaving is very hard to do, it took me a long time to do it, and a lot of strength to keep going afterwards. I don't have any children yet although I hope I will, but I know how important a family is. If you can stay together and make things better between you, then that is a good thing. You just have to keep remembering that you are a good person and be strong when he makes his comments. I know that's easier said than done. Always get in touch whenever you need to talk. I hope that you have a good weekend too. x
