    Repeated Trauma When You Can't Do Anything?

    i understand , then its still the same rules in a lot of ways , just because they are offering a service does not mean they can be trusted , or by the same token, because they are business people does not mean they are not abusers.

    Relationship Any Ideas What I Should Do Now?

    Firstly as much as he has problems as all sufferers do , i dont think its too much to ask for a bit of decent and simple respect.

    Dom Violence Feeling Alone

    you do not deserve this , and this is certainly not the actions of a healthy individual.
