Being Emotionally Abused

My Personal Story

I was often called names when he was angry,
but he never physically harmed me.
He would smash and break my belongings,
yet he never hit me.
He would scream and yell at me,
but he never laid a hand on me.
He would drive recklessly with me in the car,
but he never hit me.
He would tell me that no one would ever want me,
but he never hit me.
He would call me fat and insist I needed to eat,
but he never hit me.
He constantly accused me of cheating,
but he never hit me.
He would flirt with other women right in front of me,
but he never hit me.
He would threaten to make sure I lost my kids,
but he never hit me.
He made me feel like I wanted to end it all,
but he never hit me.
This was my life for a long time, until the day I was hit.
