Title: Physical Abuse: very concerned Post by: Seahorse1 on January 09, 2013, 04:47:52 PM I have read some very troubling posts lately concerning physical abuse from male SO s.
Having been through a physically abusive relationship as a teen ager I feel very strongly about this subject... . My current uBPDbf has physically restrained me once or twice and for me this is a boundary I refuse to budge on... . Although I was not hurt, I was scared and intimidated knowing that he could hurt me if he wanted to... . We are currently taking a break but I have made it very clear if he lays his hands on me again it is over for good and I mean it! I am very concerned about the level of violence that some of our members are allowing in their relationships... . I understand they love these men, they don't need to try to convince me of that... . I get it, but I also know how ones tolerance of abuse can get to very unhealthy levels... I hope some other members can offer some supportive advice to help these ladies set firmer boundaries and get this violence out of their lives!

We have a workshop for women struggling with Domestic Violence (https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/index.php?topic=61403.0).
This is also not just a problem for women, we also have a workshop for Men Responding to Domestic Violence (https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/index.php?topic=87480.0). |
