Shame/dispair/finances/where to go/even more disruption to children's lives. Hope that when they say it will never happen again - that this time he/she means it.

It is a true saying a leopard never changes his spots - a husband can look at his wife the next morning and gaze upon her battered face and deny he ever did it. Get out and run - you will survive - or better still - see if you can get OH out and change locks/restraining order.

I found it easier just to run Chris, and never went back, because of the memories,... holes in the doors, that were around my head , broken plates that slashed my face etc,.

its better to be skint than dead

materiel things don't matter a life does

if your partners violent get out

i will help anybody

who is suffering domestic violence

if they really loved you

they would not put you through this

at least one person dies every week

at the hands of a so called loved one

I would hope we all would Joy......

Ladybird..........I have to say I agree with all your points and they are all good, true ones, except for the "love" bit........for me, the "love" bit was gone for me...........he had beaten that one out of me, no respect or love was left......................

I spent alot of my time thinking,,,,,,,,,,,is this right?.....why is this happening to me?

Is there something wrong with me??

I aint read most of the answers but will hazzard a guess u got ur answer

Abuse takes many forms and what some see as it others except.
Why do people stay in a relationship where abuse is there ...so many many reasons.
Sad at times but it's true that so many stay cos they dont know what to do.

shirley

the problem was with him

very true Uzzi.......

I am so sorry to hear about you experience.. i guess you felt numb at times.. maybe why cant we be like other couples etc..hope your pain has eased for you..the love bit that you mentioned thats the reason i left right down the bottom of what i wrote, as some people beleive thats love

ann
