I see so many mom's posting about their mentally abusive or emotionally absent partners, and…

I couldn't have said it better....obviously. Some ppl just don't get it.

@thewilliamsfamily @chocolatemomma All men can be difficult jerks sometimes, as can women, but there's a huge difference between what to consider normal and what's abusive.

A lot of women don't even realize their own self worth.. it makes me sad honestly. 😔

@medeles98 It's either that, or they really just think that's what relationships are always like 😟

@joanna.davis and it's sad!! I get pissy with my fiancee and he's lazy sometimes but he knows where my line is and what happens when he crosses it. Tight leash 😁 *whipping sound*

If I can be honest, it only makes me sad to a certain extent. They have to be willing to change their situation. Everyone knows when they aren't being treated as they would like. Knowledge of self worth is important as well as realizing your situation is toxic.

@chocolatemomma It's really not always that simple. I've been in a few types of abusive relationships.

1. Slipped drugs in my drink to control my attitude and told me how ugly I was so I would think no one else would love me.

2. Pushed my emotional limits to make me cry, would disappear for hours without ever telling me where he was, occasionally was physically abusive, and completely neglected me.

3. Was extremely nice to me, bought me lots of gifts, took me on surprise trips... Kept me at home alone with no car, hours away from any of my family or friends, tried to make me feel guilty for wanting to see any family or friends, never introduced me to anyone in his life at all.. and turned out had completely lied to me about EVRRYTHING in his life.

That last one was really hard for me to realize was abuse, since it manifested in a completely different way than what I experienced before.

@joanna.davis there's no time limit on what I said. The important thing is that you realized what was going on and changed your situations.
