      Hey I’m new here, I have been in a few relationships that I now suspect were abusive, however the term feels so strong to me and I feel scared to apply it to my situation, I don’t want to be overdramatic by labeling it that. It’s hard to accept the things that have happened to me, I am wondering if anyone else feels like this. I feel like in my head I’m making it out to be worse than it was, but am I? Or was it really that bad.

      Hi welcome. I can relate.  Having been in violent relationship and way more subtly abusive situations I can tell you the subtle stuff is way harder to make sense of, and can leave you in a heap of doubt with yourself. Am I right. Aren’t I. I even question if I myself am the abuser these days because he says so. That’s a common tactic for a reason. Its blooming effective.

      My guess is you’ve landed here because something really just isn’t right, and that’s a great starting point. Do some searching on types of abuse. You may recognise more than you were aware of. It helps to get things straight in your mind x
