Everyone has heard of abusive relationships. Most people think it’s the whole idea of physical abuse. Yet it can be mental abuse too. It can be subtle too, and many people don’t even realize it. The worst part is that the victims of mental abuse think it is their fault.
Sadly, I know from experience that mental abuse does exist. I dated someone for only about a month and a half, and now that I have spent time away from this person, I realized what they were doing to me. I thought nothing was wrong when we were together even though everyone around me said I was being treated badly. I feel stupid because I never listened to my parents and best friend. The person I was with literally brainwashed me and I was so oblivious to it. He would try to convince me to come live with him, even though I was already taking care of him every night because he was always drunk. I was also stupid because I thought his drinking problems would pass, yet one day I realized he was an alcoholic. Every time I would try to tell him he had drinking problems, he would end up convincing me that I needed help, not him. When I finally listened to my friends and family and broke up with him, he threatened me. When he was drunk every night, he would call me multiple times screaming at me. After his threats and showing up at my work, I ended up becoming terrified of him. He finally left me alone when I told him I was going to call the police if he didn’t . To this day I am still afraid of him. This blog is to show people that they should never go through this. Also, this is to show the signs of abusive relationships and the signs of alcoholism.
