News of Verbal & Emotional

Hi everyone, I'm new on this forum and this will be my first post. I wrote a very long story about my exboyfriend but ended up deleting it to write this instead.


My ex boyfriend of 2 years was extremely emotional abusive, verbally abusive, and manipulative. He was physical with me as well but I don't want to talk about that yet.

A brief backstory is this: We met and I wasn't quite interested in ...

Hi all.
I'm new to this forum but I could certainly do with some advice. Apologies if a little long winded, I'll try to keep the background as brief as possible.

I'm in a rather terrible situation right now, and I'm trying to come to terms with my one system of behaviors and patterns of avoidance.

As long as i can remember my father has always insulted me.

I feel like I am the only one who feels this way, people think it's not OK to hit or yell at your husband or wife but think it's OK for parents to hit and yell at their adult children whenever they don't bow down to their every whim. It makes me really angry that people act like parents have a free pass and we have no right to complain, saying things like "that's still ...
