Abuse

I've talked about abuse before in my vlog, but never here. I'm the child of a abusive relationship and grew up being abused verbally.

My parents divorced when I was 3.My mom was abused in every relationship after that, she was also a alcoholic. None of my mom's boyfriends and husbands ever abused my brother or me (to my memory).

She was in a accident when I was 11 years old and my brother and I moved to live with our dad. My dad has a bad temper and is verbally abusive if you don't do things when and how he wants.

I have become verbally abusive even though I try not to. Abusive behavior is learned, for your safety and for any children in the relationship get out! Sorry but if they says their sorry and does it again they won't stop.

My boyfriend has a addiction and when he's withdrawing he's nasty to me but also sometimes when he's not too. We're verbally abusive to each other but never tell each other that either of us have had enough. Although, he says its all in my head that he's never verbally abusive when other people have heard him attack me verbally.

I'm not trying to make excuses for abusive people but just remember 2 things: 1. its learned behavior. If you let your significant other abuse you in any way, then you are telling your children its OK to hurt others and its OK to let others hurt them. 2. Abusive people might say they won't do it again or say you deserve what they do but they will do it again and nobody deserves to be abused.
