GIRL you know you can't tell anyone, anything when they THINK they love some one and BELIEVE it being recipricated/ Bad thing about verbal/emotion/psycholigical abuse you begin to believe what the abuser says... IS... You begin to believe you're not worthy of anything better and noone can tell you that you are.. Typical sign of an abused woman.. But Don't stop telling her,, Again and again,,, Plz! I was abused like that for 15 yrs, with a friend telling me for 15 years but she stuck by me even when I cussed her out to stay out of my relationships after ALL I knew what I was Doing
She moved away a few months later I visited her went back to the abuser visited her again a yr later and stayed with her got a job and never went back not even for clothes, pictures ,,, nothing.. lost alot of material things; but gained a New Life, A New Me, Don't Give up, let her get mad at you it's okay it's just denial raging, diamonds, money, new cars, sail boats, was not worth giving ME up to an abuser.. Reminder her who she was before him, how she'd never tolerate that crap, that it's not love,, it's a mind trapped way of thinking.. I know that sounds harsh to say; it's even harder to hear.. but we women MUST Help our Girlfriend recognize abuse there is NO small/ or minimal abuse... abuse is abuse no matter how you slice it, If you're not being treated like a Queen lavished with kind words and deeds, and if your family doesn't feel the mutual respect for each other when they are around you then something is saddly wrong.. Your Friend's boyfriend doesn't like you because you recognize him for the Jerk that he is, Not so much for what you my say to your friend, But He knows you know him for his true stripes!!
Wheww Lord! Let me get off this soap box! Sorry I just get so Pi$#^$^D when I hear of men demeaning their woman and turn around and buy them something Like That can Heal a Bruised heart
