“He hasn’t hit me, is it abuse?”

“He gets really mad and threatens to punch things, getting right in my face, but he’s really caring sometimes. I’m so confused.”

“I just want someone who will listen to me and not get angry when I ask for their help.”

“I really wish I knew what was going on and how to fix it. ”

“I work 6 days a week, provide for my partner, help around the house and I’m emotionally supportive. But no matter what I do, they still say it’s not enough. I’m not making enough, I don’t do enough. It doesn’t matter how hard I try, it’s never enough.”

“Why do they twist my words? I try to explain my thoughts, but they turn it around against me.”

“Sometimes I feel like I’m walking on eggshells.”
