I've been in this situation in three different ways.
I have been abused in one relationship.
I was the abuser in another relationship.
And I've also been on 'the outside' watching it happen to a few people close to me.
The hardest for me, was having to watch others go through it. Because I had been through the cycle of abuse so many times and I could see the same things happen over and over to my friend/family member. It got frustrating when they wouldn't just listen to me and walk away. But it really isn't that easy... I had to hit a breaking point and really realize, this is enough, that was the last straw.

I have experienced an emotionally abusive relationship, occasionally physical and sometimes sexually abusive at times too. It took a lot to get away and rebuild myself. I have a tattoo on my back which represents new beginnings as I had to rebuild myself afterwards and start again almost as I was a shell of who I was. It reminds me of what I overcame and that a new beginning is always possible.
