Cruelty to animals or children- mistreats or abuses children or
animals, thinks cruelty to animals or children is funny, brags about
this mistreatment, sees nothing wrong with this kind of behavior.

Verbal abuse- calls you names, puts you down, threatens you, makes
fun of you alone or in front of others, tries to make you look
stupid in front of others, criticizes you, puts down things or
people you like, talks to you in a way that is not respectful.

Are you seeing my ex-husband?

The answer is - no, it will never stop. Abusive behaviors only escalate. The best advice is do your best to protect yourself and leave this relationship. Though it might seem difficult, you will breathe a sigh of relief when you are away from that situation. If possible, seek the advice of an attorney or local women's shelter about PFA, etc.

You have to leave this person. Go to a shelter if necessary.

Yes you are! Confused that is! Your confusing me with someone who gives a ****!

That maddness will not stop until you make it stop. No one can make you stop dealing with the abuse. You have to be the one and move on. It is hard but in order for you to be healthy emotionally you have to do it.

See a doctor and QUICK!

No one can use you as a doormat unless you first lay down.

chances are it won't stop. why you put up with it that I don't know it may be a learned thing. that your role models growing up were that way or that you truly have convinced yourself you care about the person. the person may have convinced you you need them. Generally speaking most time that type of behavior pattern doesn't change without significant counseling and intervention.

NOT UNTIL YOU,AND YOUR DEAR ONES,GET THE HELL OUTTA THERE AS FAST,AND AS FAR AWAY( RUN,DON'T WALK !!!) AS YOU CAN!!!---AT THE END OF THAT CITED PATHWAY DEATH WILL APPEAR IN SOME FORM,TO SOMEONE(S) IF YOU,AND YOURS, DO NOT MANAGE TO ESCAPE---SEE A LAWYER,SOCIAL WORK AGENCIES, AND THE POLICE IF NECESSARY---MORE VIOLENCE LOOMS IN YOUR NEARBY FUTURE IF YOU DO NOT!!!

GET OUT NOW!!! Been there. Will only get worse. Seek a shelter if you have to, but LEAVE
