This is easy to say when you're not being battered black and blue or having your teeth knocked out.

Better surely, and more accurate, to say that being psychologically abused is every bit as bad as being physically abused.

Madame Cholet, I'm so pleased that things are working out for you

In my case,and i suspect many others,you get both at the same time.Each is as bad as the other.I echo everyone else,but would also add that no matter how much a man is sorry and promises to change...HE WON'T.

My story is too long to go into but the day i finally had the courage to leave was the best day of my life(not that it seemed it at the time) but it was the start of a whole new life that ,had i not gone,would have ended up with either him killing me or me killing myself.

No man,(or woman) has the right to drive someone to that .I wish anyone going through hell,strength to get away,and the wonderful peace it brings.

I'm so glad to hear that you did have the courage to move on with your life and I agree wholeheartedly that no -one has the right to make someone else feel so bad that they contemplate suicide.

One good thing about these boards is that sometimes a little support from others can have such a dramatic effect on a posters life that they gather courage they didn't even realise they had.

Sorry my statement wasnt ment to sound the way it did. They are of course both very serious and 1 is no more serious than the other xx

I suffered both for 15 years but I am now very happy and loving life again
