Yes, everything he is doing/saying is classic emotional abuse. People like that are master manipulators. Dont be shocked when you do finally leave that he plays victim. Thats what my ex did, so he wouldn't have to take any blame, and make it look like i was was the one in the wrong. By the way, there is absolutely nothing wring with therapy at all. I should have gone into it a long time ago myself and maybe I would have healed sooner, but as it is, im still pretty messed up inside from all the emotional abuse that I got and plan to get into therapy as soon as I can, even though we cant afford it. Your in my thoughts as I went through a lot of that too. *hugs*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707428631611145282.post-7049163038333270842011-03-24T17:45:51.640-06:002011-03-24T17:45:51.640-06:00This is a fantastic series of first steps. I'm...This is a fantastic series of first steps. I'm so proud of your courage. I know how hard this is. I remember coming to the realization that the non-physical stuff was just as abusive as the physical stuff, and the rage I felt at being so thoroughly mistreated was incredibly overwhelming. We can turn on ourselves when this information comes into our awareness - we can start telling ourselves stories about how *we* must also be abusive because we shoot dirty looks or apply the silent treatment. We have to remember that what we are doing is in response to a crazymaking abusive situation. If we were being treated well, we would *never* behave that way. <3 Hang in there! I'm so glad you're keeping us posted.Effy Wildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01212782608321767502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707428631611145282.post-66135411680857532932011-03-24T16:19:59.414-06:002011-03-24T16:19:59.414-06:00This was an important first step.

It's something I could never do when I was stuck in a similar relationship. I hope you can get things sorted out and organized so it's not so scary anymore.<br />A good cry can definitely be a perfect way to release and step away from the emotions for a while.<br /><3Lilac SilverFoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05356881452976212607noreply@blogger.com
