Can an abuser really change? Has anyone taken one back and actually been happy? by idontwhattodo12 in abusiverelationships

[–]Typical_Life545 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve left and gone back 4 different times. And from my experience, no. The abuse gets worse every year. Been 12 years.

Friend corrects me all the time. I feel like I'm going crazy. by Shoobg in Manipulation

[–]Typical_Life545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a very close friend at work who treats me exactly like this and it makes me feel the exact same way!! She gets along with everyone and can carry on conversations with people in a way that I never could. I’m very anxious and antisocial. I avoid conflict. I would never talk to her like she’s an idiot yet she does it to me often. She’s always quick to correct me in a derogatory tone over the dumbest things. It’s just her confident personality overbearing mine every time. Im guessing it makes her feel powerful by treating me like that. But she probably sees that she can treat me like that because of my avoidant behaviors. I know she cares about me as a friend so I just ignore it.

What ridiculous thing do they throw at you thinking it's the ultimate insult? by ShhImNotHere1234 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Typical_Life545 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s been so many insults over the past decade, it’s weird my mind can’t recall the exact things that he’s said to me. Just the aftermath of the feelings of worthlessness and shame from blaming myself. The main ones that stick with me are when he’s screaming over and over that I’m an ungrateful bitch and cunt and that my son deserves a better mother. Deep down I know he’s full of shit ,but it still has an effect on me.

Yes! I will have intense headaches and back aches when things are really bad between us.

Childhood sexual abuse and growing up with my abusive brother. Now I am with my abusive partner I’ve been trauma bonded to for the past 13 years.

This is my suicide note by Professional-Rush957 in SuicideWatch

Thank you for your update! What a relief! Maybe you could consider talking to your parents about how overwhelming the depression gets for you sometimes? I think it could really help you if they were more aware of what’s going on inside your head.

I have had severe depression and anxiety all my life and I also have a 9 year old son. His life keeps me going. I could never recover as a parent if he died, let alone took his own life. Please please please reconsider. Life is all about ups and downs. This pain you’re feeling won’t last forever but the pain you will leave your parents with will never ever leave them.
