Thank you for this post. When abused in a relationship, but not much of it physical, people look at you and say you were lucky.

Comment on Stage 1: New relationship red flags by 1 book 1 movie

I really love your blog. I used to be in an emotionally/mentally abusive relationship. He was never physical, but he knew how to hurt me in other ways. He matched 1-5, but wasn’t the typical guy you would expect to be that type of partner. He had a job, was successful in his career, was a charmer, never asked me for money, was strongly against alcohol/drugs, and would shower me with gifts/trips…but at the slightest moment or if I was unsure of our relationship, he would play the blame game. Say I was a horrible person, compare me with his ex. Humiliate me in front of his family and friends. Even started stalking me, towards the end. I was afraid he would show up at my work. It took me 4 yrs to realize the man I loved, needed help and he wouldn’t listen to me. I listened to my friends and family and got out. Sorry for the rant here, but I thought it was important for woman out there, who feel the way of your list, not to put up with it. You deserve better! There are so many wonderful people out there, and you don’t have to waste your time with being unhappy!

As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and rape. Too short and others like him, that take pride in their sexual exploits, truly disgust me. Through awareness, I hope and pray that more survivors speak out and began to demand changes in the rap and entertainment industry and bring an end to childhood sexual abuse, rape, and prostitution.

Comment on Gender Nonconforming Behavior in Kids and Teens by LR

That is true and when they reach their 20s, 30s, and beyond, in the case of girls, they face verbal and physical abuse from their partners and spouses, especially strictly conforming ones. As for boys, they get abandoned by their girlfriends and wives for a more masculine man. Everywhere you go and anyone you get involved with and marry, there’s always pressure to conform to strict gender norms.
