i used to shake my head and not understand why someone would stay in an abusive relationship. why wouldn't they just leave? it's not that easy. they abuse you then say they're sorry and it will never happen again.....then it does. again. and gets progressively worse. in my case anyway, it did.
thinking about that relationship sends chills up my spine.

Awww....I know how you feel. I rarely mention my past outside of my abuse site, but felt the need to on this thread, because abuse is not just hitting or being threatened with your life. And it isn't easy to escape. The abuse cycle is vicious and I, too, was trapped in it for years.
