      Hi I’m new to this

      Been in dv relationship b4 which was both verbal n physical got out quickly. And moved on.

      Now (detail removed by Moderator) years with my partner and realising it’s sometimes emotionally verbally abusive, I think?

      It’s got more regular now I’m realising what happening. He gets at me about housework. I’m chronically ill with 5 kids of which (detail removed by Moderator) under 5 the rest have special needs.

      He brings up my previous relationship says I like to be treated bad, jokes about me cheating all the time, and gets really angry about housework and won’t listen to reason. The kids see this and he is same towards them. But it’s not bad enough to be sure if it’s abusecor just a bad tempered partner. One of my kids say it’s gaslighting?

      Advice would be appreciated
