hey all---

just a quick question, is being called names like b****, *****, or slut.........being cursed out......being told that you should just throw up your food, lose weight (when the person knows you have problems with eating), being told what to wear or having your body talked about, even your private parts.....considered abuse? Or verbal abuse, even if he said he was joking after every comment...and you laughed at times, not all the time but, at times, just to cover up the pain.

Yes. That is abuse. It is verbal/emotional abuse. I'm so sorry you experienced this.

Yes it is emotional and verbal abuse. You don't deserve this! Is this still happening?

Abuse. I hope you aren't living in that type of environment. Please get help if you are.

Well, this still goes on... just not as much as it used too because I rarely spend time with him. He, on the other hand, says I am his only friend and he needs me in his life. I feel bad for letting him go but, I have to do what I have to do, I guess. :/
