      Sometimes I feel like I’m getting better. I’ve started seeing a councillor. I’m still working, getting up each morning. Although I’ve dyed my hair, and I just cut it drastically short. I want to be different. I’m trying to do my best, he says that I’m unstable, that I’m making it so my (detail removed by moderator) year old wants nothing to do with him. He says its my fault that he stopped being nice to me. He was nice to me for  years cause I was good to him but when I went back to work- I stopped being nice.
      How do I know if its abuse? How do I know that he’s not right? How do I know if its me that’s been the abusive one all this time?

      It is never your fault when another person makes a choice to stop being nice to you. I would try calling the women’s aid helpline to talk through what you are going through. They are amazing and will be able to help you. There is nothing wrong with cutting your hair or going back to work. But I also experienced a dramatic increase in abuse when I did these things. I left (detail removed by moderator) ago and am starting to be able to see things clearly again. It’s incredibly difficult when you are actually in the situation though.
