Thank you Dec46. TBH I think I attract bad behaviour from people. I am polite, quiet, observant, well behaved and respect people and their opinions
I believe it is very common for victims of domestic abuse to feel (or be made to feel) that they are somehow responsible for the actions of others. “Look at what you made me do” is a common response from the abusive partner, whether drunk or just a bully by nature. You cannot be held responsible for some body else’s bullying behaviour.
You are in an abusive relationship - please get out and get help (see Suedonim ‘s post)
I'm not a pheasant plucker....
Ethical question - how do you feel about second chance??
Recommendations please for thorn- and nettle-proof gauntlets – if possible vegan
. Contact Women’s Aid, who have a section on abuse.
