Sorry to hear that Ennie. Emotional and Psychological abuse are serious issues especially when escalated and paired with more obvious forms of violence. Sounds like you're talking to the wrong person and it is possible downplaying your emotional trauma is your friend's way of protecting your story. Worst-case scenario, your friend may not have the emotional strength to give your story the attention it needs. My suggestion, find a way to vent your frustrations with your friend in a way he responds better to or find a different friend to make those steps with. Emotional exploration has been important to me and my healing process, so I say make the time for yourself that you need to continue your healing process. Good Luck
