He can shove a gun in your face and call it love, but that doesn't mean it is. He IS being abusive. Stomping down your boundaries is abusive. That is the definition of abuse. Just for my own curiousity, I looked up the definition of "abuse" in the dictionary and here is what I found: Definition of ABUSE 1 : a corrupt practice or custom 2 : improper or excessive use or treatment : misuse <drug abuse> 3 obsolete: a deceitful act : deception 4 : language that condemns or vilifies usually unjustly, intemperately, and angrily 5 : physical maltreatment http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/abuse Sounds like everything you are experiencing and interestingly, physical maltreatment is at the bottom of the list. |
"I've been a grateful member here for over 4 yrs this place has changed my life of course for the better, coming to the groups has enabled me to no longer feel so alone. As a group leader for the Bipolar Support group I can relate to others and am expressing my experience strength and hope and this is very rewarding, I've also made many supportive friends here whom I talk to some daily. I used to have a lot of 'lows' since becoming member here at MdJunction I no longer have these lows." (Dit)
