Diana's Abuse Testimonial
I am 18 years old and my ex Is 23 years old. We have been together for a year.
It started with him being my best friend and the person I always had fun with, I fell in love with this person and had wonderful times, but every little thing upset him, with time I stopped seeing my friends, I stopped doing many hobbies, I started to dedicate all my free time to him.
Every time we argued he made me feel like it was me the problem, I always begged him for forgiveness since I believed him and felt ashamed with myself.
Just a few hours ago we argued because I felt sad about his behavior and he told me that he doesn't have to hear a childish person, I got angry, he laughed at me and we got to a very destructive point where he actually slapped me and grabbed my neck and pushed me into the window while choking me... after that he kicked me out and I came home to sleep, I felt very tired..
I do not want to go back living like this, my only problem is how can I regain the person I was.
How Diana Found Out She Was Being Abused
I first justified his actions, I found out when he verbally wanted me to feel disgusted with myself, and by seeing these videos. [At the time of this posting, the videos are removed due to my divorce.]
