Am i the abuser or the victim?

Postby whatsmynameagain » Wed Feb 19, 2014 5:19 pm

moved to Relationships

I haven't physically assaulted her in anyway, she has hit me twice over the years
i very rarely would start an argument, but i would stand my ground. If she was drunk and being unreasonable, i would leave her to it. best i could anyway and try to keep out of the way.
I did control the money, the money that came into my bank id pay whatever was needed and give her anytime she asked, understand, she had benefits going into her own bank too, she paid no bills, yes she bought food and mostly alcohol petrol etc, but i tried to pay what i could, she even had child support from me into her account . In the end i worked it out i needed to pay £150 more a month than i earned. While she had £500 in hers for which she needed to pay nothing. I spent on average 5-10 a month on myself... nothing more.
Did i rage? yes, there's been twice in our 4.5 year history were i could have appeared aggressive, not at her, at objects nearby.. one time was due to her saying things about my daughter i really didn't like or believe were fact.
Anyway due to child services being inolved for our son and her daughter i now appear to be an abuser. Im absolutely heart broken. I did the best i could dealing with someone who had a lot of problems.
To quote my own daughter "what are you doing? shes ruining your life" from a 12year old...
And i haven't helped myself, last night she found out i disabled the internet, the internet i pay for at the property, and the big phone bill she ran up, which i paid, with no thanks.. so obviously she rared up at me, i knew nothing about child services perception of me. so yes, i returned every bitter word with one of my own.
For the first time since she went quiet she talked to me, on text, ok she wasn't happy, i wasn't abusive, i told her straight, on one hand i told her how upset i was but on the other, i do love her.
Anyway, i am in the spotlight, unfairly i believe.. either that or i have a different perception,
What i want to do, is clear my name with child services, i dont want any problems further in. unfortuantley i can see no easy way of doing that, i dont want to carry this on me forever,
anyway thanks for reading so far, woill update later im so miffed at the mmoment

Maybe you should call them. I don't know that they "label" people as abusers. I would think not.
