Posted elsewhere but seems right to repost it here.

“You’re so pretty and sexy” and I fall at your feet.
“Trust me, I love you” words sounding so sweet.
“I’ll be there for ever” that’s what you said.
“Give me your heart” but you wanted my bed.

“Marry me darling” you made me your wife.
“We were meant for each other” but it wasn’t for life.

“You’re stupid and ugly” words cutting so deep.
“No one else will have you” cry myself to sleep.
“You’re worthless, you’re nothing” tears me apart.
“I did it because I love you” breaking my heart.

“Don’t you dare answer back” making me feel so small.
“Don’t make me beat you” finally taking it all.

“You won’t leave me” but I have to to survive.
“You won’t last 5 minutes” disbelief in your eyes.
“You made me do it” desperation sets in.
“It’s because I love you” that’s worn so thin.

You thought you’d broken me, killed my spirit
And yes you demeaned me till I found my limits,
Hit rock bottom, the depths of despair
As you stood there laughing, pretending to care.
You said you loved me but it wasn’t real,
Thank god I found that core of inner steel.

20 years later and here I am, standing proud, standing strong.
My spirit intact, still alive and every day I prove you wrong.

thanks for bringing that to this forum, JenJen x

One thing that i do find difficult to understand is how a person who is being abused, physically, emotionally, verbally or in anyway, returns to the abuser over and over again.

…. or the abuser will hunt them down.

Fear.

Crikey O’Reilly – if Su came to visit me, it would be croissants, whisky and a bloody mary! :lol:

and not necessarily in that order! lol

actually, if my memory of being a (quite bad) barmaid serve me correctly … bloody mary is vodka and tomato juice, isn’t it? Bleurgh! Allergic to tomatoes and hate vodka …

Love croissants though! (and it shows! haha)

This is all interesting stuff but I’d go with seagulls list myself.

Nah … Seagull’s list has a severe lack of caffeine and black pudding … I have refined a refined palette (!)

Have only just seen this thread. My take, and it is only my personal opinion, is that no one , man or woman , has the right to “beat up ” anyone else. However, everyone, male and female, has the right to self defence. If a man hits a woman she has the right to defend herself. If a woman hits a man, he has an equal right to hit back.

Fair point eve. What I would add is that much pain can be avoided if someone learns how to de-escalate the violence, which might mean refusing to retaliate, walking or running away, calling for help or intervention or changing tack, e.g. replacing violence with rational words.

Not easy when passions are high.

What happends if one partner seeks the thrill of fear from the other? Sometimes the threat of violence is more painful pyschologically and emotionally than actual violence which often has a catalyst, albeit avoidable. Emotional scars take so much longer to heal and are harder to explain.
