Feeling awful

[Anonymous]

Ex physically assaulted me 8 times and emotionally/psychologically abused me for the entire duration of our relationship. On one occasion I defended myself; I was afraid he was going to choke me again, or hit me and my movement have been restricted so I bit his arm to get myself free; he was a foot taller than me and 4 stone heavier so there was no use trying to push him off. (detail removed by moderator) He would also call me emotionally abusive when I’d cry in response to something he did. It’s really traumatised me and I feel so awful about it

That’s awful that they said that, and so very wrong when it was clearly self defence. It’s so hard isn’t it when professionals who are supposed to know better don’t get it? I totally get why you feel so devastated, it’s just not fair x

Honestly makes you wish you’d never told them in the first place and dealt with it on your own – thank you for the reply x

I hope that you’re well now. I wasn’t allowed to cry after being raped because it made him feel bad.
