This list is my ex boyfriend. Everything written here is what he is/was. It's a great way of letting people know some signs to be aware of.

Congratulations, Su. I'm glad you had the courage to reach out to family and friends. Be safe and celebrate yourself (BTW it is also normal to feel sad some days.)This is a really big, really bold step. We're rooting for you!

Dear uknown,
It takes a lot of courage to talk about being in an abusive relationship. Please know that there is no excuse for abuse. This isn't about anything you said or didn't say, did or didn't do. You can't make someone hit you. Violence is a choice. When you are ready, help is available. Contact the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence www.ncadv.org or 1.800.799.SAFE/7233 for free resources in your area. Please be safe.

I'm in an emotional abusive relationship right now and have been married for a long time. I want to get out but worried about where I can go with no money. I'm not allowed money except food money. It use to be physical but now name calling and yelling. If he is not yelling at me than he refuses to talk to me.

I've gotton back with this man, and i regret it.
The reason is...Its because of great sex. I feel like i'm drowning and i can't get out.
I can't talk to anyone, because my family are always judgeing me, never helping. I thought i loved him but...... the more and more time i spend with him, i want to leave, but... i'm afraid because of his temper and how he's going to react again. I feel like i'm stuck.
