Hi KIP,
Thankyou so much for reaching out, taking time and offering me advice.
I feel I’m still in a stage of denial and confusion. As much as I try I can’t get my head round why this is happening when I feel all I’ve done is love someone whole heartedly. I don’t know how this happened and why, but feel that it is partly my fault. I’ve tried journaling and enjoy reading so will defo look into the book you suggested, I think I’ll feel shock that his behaviour has been abuse and naive that I haven’t noticed it sooner, mainly because he makes me feel I’m in the wrong and could do more to make him trust me and my actions or for me to make him feel more loved? Im not sure. Im exhausted, does he know he is abusive and understands what he makes me feel like? I have told him about certain elements such as counselling but because he’s said I’m dramatic in the past I feel I shouldn’t reach for help because I question myself, is this normal? x
