I went to my preliminary mental evaluation a few days ago. During the interview the T asked if I had been mentally/verbally abused. I admitted that my mom was abusive but didn't mention anything about my husband because I'm just not sure how I feel about it. I've got a friend that says "yes, he emotionally abused you", but I just don't know if I should call it abuse. He took advantage of my trust by lying to me the whole time we were together, as I recently found out. Sometimes he would be really late coming home for one reason or another but never called to let me know he was okay, even though I told him a million times it scared the crap out of me. (I'm so very glad this is an anonymous site!) Several times he blamed me for his occasional erectile dysfunction -- he insisted I was the only woman he had ever had this problem with. What does everyone here think? Should I call it abuse or not??

Aahh, the night is calling, and it whispers to me softly,
"Come and play". Aahh, I am falling, and if I let myself go
I'm the only one to blame.

I'm safe, up high, nothing can touch me, but why do I feel
this party's over?
No pain, inside, you're like perfection, but how do I feel
this good sober?"
