11 years on abuse

Recommended Posts

hi i am from the island guam. I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 11 years now. his behavior started off as threating. Back then we were still in high school i was not allowed to date. whenever i would make him mad he would threaten to call my parents and tell them where i was at. as the years go by off course that excuse wouldn't cut it anymore. so he would start punching me and beating. he wouldn't let me leave his house until he was satisfied with whatever we were arguing about. he would punch my head, he would kick me on my legs, he would punch my face. the other week i can't remember what had happened but he got on top of me and started to choke me. he's given me big bumps on the top of my head. scratches on my face, bruises on my chest. i forget a lot and i think a little slower than most people. my memory isn't as bad as my reflexes. sometimes when i'm with friends when they raise their arm my first instinct is to cover my face or my head. i've cried and cried. he says he hits me cause he thinks i'm immune to it now.. and that i know what to say and not to say to get hit. there has been a short period of time where he actually did stop hitting me. but not after long it started all over again. i want to leave him.... but he won't leave my house. i have repeatedly asked him to leave me and my house but he won't !! he comes up with things to blackmail me with. i've been thinking of leaving the island and moving with my other brother in the states but i can't leave my brother here alone. i don't know what to do.... i'm fed up and tired.....

you know he is abusing you, and you know that no one deserves this treatment, he has no right to do this to you.

 

what ever choice you make it will be a major choice and it will be a big deal to you, however it is your right to be treated with respect, and you are not getting it from him.

 

i am almost 100% sure that everyone would agree with me when i say leave him. and im sure that everyone that replies to ur post will say leave him. however we can only hope that you do leave him for your sake, and that we are always here for you as someone to talk too.

 

please take care of yourself, and think about ur safety.

Get out of there now. Have you ever called the cops when he's done these things? What is making you feel like you have to stay with him??

 

Sometimes you need to think about yourself girlfriend. I know you think you are abandoning your family member there but you are not in a healthy situation right now. You must be a saint to have put up with that madness for 11 years.

Don't they have police there? In the USA there is a domestic violence law. If you call, one of you HAS to get arrested. If he has been drinking.. he will be the one even if he says he HAS NOT hurt you. If you call, you will usually have visible signs of abuse or someone else got involved & called for you & or someone saw it happen & called for you. Yes, you have to go. He is really abusive & won't think twice about killing you. Let him kill someone else. He needs to get hit for a change. In jail, maybe he won't be such a "big " guy. You let him go too far. It sounds like you have no kids. Hopefully. You have to think of yourself & like the previous replys.. there is MUCH help out there... call now. Whose house is it? If it is your brother's.. then why isn't he sticking up for you? If it is not.. you two both leave & hurry & don't look back & do NOT EVER contact him again. Leave no trace. Start packing.. if you think he will get angry.. then get a cop to watch you do it & .........if you have more time.. get a restraining order against him first. It sounds like you have wasted much time. You need to get educated & go back to school & far away from him. There is so much help available to protect you. Please call one of those numbers that was given.. & ask... talk talk talk...go .. get ready now.
