You mentioned emotional and mental abuse (with the VERY possible threat of physical abuse, and any of those things he threw could have hit you), intimidation, control, emotional sexual abuse (that could have eventually led to SA, if you had not left), and using a car as a weapon (that IS abuse, I learned this in school).This was all child abuse, not domestic violence as googley explained. My father did all those things.
However the way you describe him, this "man" reminds me of a man my old best friend's mother dated, they were both drug addicts. I don't remember exactly what happened, but he punched holes in the walls, and ended up physically abusing both my friend and her mother and he also emotionally sexually abused my friend. I remember the big night trying to get him out of the apartment. We got him out first, just me and my friend, but then he broke down the door. After a bunch of violence, it took four people to physically force him out the door. Another man her mother dated broke the glass table, broke the mirrored closet, threw things, etc. All these men were crack addicts. Another man my mother dated before that r---- my friend. But her mother wasn't very well herself, she also tried to r--- my ex-boyfriend when he was 16. Me and my friend had to force her off of him. She did the same thing to my husband before I even met him, when he was also a minor (my friend was dating my brother-in-law) and another one of my old friends. Anyway, the world of drugs is very scary. I think just that, being around people doing drugs, can be traumatic for a child. And these people don't think about what their drug addict friends are capable of.
Sorry I keep blabbering......., I guess I just have way too many things to get out of my mind. I'm sorry you went through all this. This man sounds evil. I hope he's on the street and eating out of garbage cans by now. He had no right to damage your soul and your life.
