Yes, as Stone92 said, this is very common. I experienced multiple abuses from multiple people, especially from romantic partners. Each case is different one another, some were only emotionally abusive, some were physically, some were sexually, some were a complete package of abuses

This rooted back to my childhood, my father was abusive. He would beat me one day and give me gifts the next day. So when I was a teenager and young adult, I seek for men who acted like my father, who were nice to me one day and hurt me the next day, because that was the only form of “love” I had ever known.

I broke this cycle of evil though, I have a fiancé who is the antithesis of all abusive men I’ve ever dated. Doesn’t mean I’m fully recovered, I still struggle everyday with many C-PTSD symptoms. When you’ve been abused through out your life, recovery takes a life time effort.
