Abuse

Asked Jun 10, 2011, 04:09 PM — 44 Answers
I was abused by my 'best guy friend' physically. He punched me and hit me. He's punched me in the face more than once. He shot me multiple times with a BB-gun from about 2 feet away and it left marks. He knocked me down to the ground and he'd sometimes try to have sex with me. He strangled me MANY times, where the skin in your neck touches. He laughed it off and kept doing it. I never thought it was that bad, and he always said it was "love-tapping". But, now I don't believe him and I'm afraid of him. I hungout with my friends that he doesn't like, and they said they heard that he hits me. They got really protective and mad at him and wanted to fight him. They got his number and now 'my friend' is mad at me. He's not a good friend at all and he's tried to get me to smoke pot, cigars, and drink. WHAT SHOULD I DO to either get help for me or help his next victim. I don't want him hurting me or anyone else

Why are you afraid to call?

Why doesn't your mom want you to?

get off my page

This isn't FB nor is it your "page." You've posted a question on an open, public forum that can be seen and responded to by millions of people all over the world. And you can't dictate how they respond. You may like the answers you get and you may not.
Oh my!, I posted on here for an answer, not grief. Just stop now. I'm doing what I want

I find it odd that your mother doesn't want you to call. You were abused? What sort of mother do you have? She doesn't seem to care very much about your well being. :(

Call the hotline, and talk to your therapist. Most of all, stay away from this guy.

He should be reported, because I know he'll do this or worse to someone else. But I understand that you're afraid to report this. I wish you would, so you can save someone else from the hurt he's caused you, but I do understand how hard it is to tell on someone.

Right now I'm concerned about you, about you finding a way to stay away from him. This guy is an abuser. He needs help, and so do you. Get that help. You have the phone numbers, so use them. You have a therapist, so talk about it.

I hope you do.
Thank you. I will get help; I'm writing it all down and then I'm going to call the hotline. And yeah, I know. My mom doesn't really care in my opinion at all and I don't know why.

We're all trying to help, so please stop giving us attitude.

Your "page" isn't yours. It's public domain as soon as you posted on it. Anyone that's a member of this site can answer your question. You cannot request that they stop. If you have a problem with a post, report it. The mods will decide whether or not it's against the rules. The fact is, I've read all of the posts here, and none of them go against the rules, except yours.

We can only give you advice, and we give it with your best interests at heart. You can choose to follow that advice, or leave it. That's up to you.

Not one person is giving you grief, we're helping you in the way we know is best for you. You may not like the answers, but the answers you're getting are fact. They're the best answers we can give you. Follow them, or don't. That's your choice. If you don't stop the attitude, no one will help. We all volunteer here, and we don't need the grief either.

If your mom doesn't care, then you have to. This is your life, your body, and you have a right to get help with this.

I really would call the hotline if I were you.

I've been through this. I've been through far worse then this. I can tell you without a doubt that this is abuse.

You don't have to go through this alone. There are resources, so use them, and don't be ashamed to use them.

Your safety is the number one concern.

Okay?
