Donna's Story of Abuse
I get yelled at because there is no money in the bank, I must be spending it. Yeah, I am on food and bills.
I get yelled at for apparently treating him like a 3 year old, which I still don't get. He refuses to give me examples...why, because if I wasn't so stupid...I would know why.
He twists my words around, tells me that every time he gets in his rage and yelling that I run to my daughter and tell her lies.
He tells me that I made him this way because of things I have done/or not done in the past, like I didn't go grocery shopping when I said I would. I didn't cook supper because there was no food in the house. When in fact there was food for supper but he didn't want what I suggested I would make.
Sigh...shall I go on...Perhaps enough for now.
How Donna Found Out She Was Being Abused
Well, because I know that when someone yells in your face, calls you names, blames you for everything, twists everything you say around, that this is not normal. When it makes you feel depressed, sad, feeling like you are going crazy and your called horrible names (which you know your not)...then something is not right.
