    It's a normal feeling but your body needs fuel. And your head and heart will feel better for eating.

    I'm going to be blunt, so you may not want to hear this.

    Verbal abuse is awful. It is possible for an abuser to change, but is it likely? Hell no!
    It takes real commitment and years of therapy to change such ingrained behaviors. It’s like child molesters…they can’t change because it is how their brains were hardwired.
    It can be beaten into you that your behavior is “bad”, but getting you to actually change and not just pretend that you have is almost impossible. You definitely have some self-esteem issues and codependency issues that needs to be dealt with.

    All of it requires that you willingly accept what you are doing wrong, and correct the behavior with therapy, in one form or another, to start finding out what happened to you that make you behave/think like that.

    I am a very empathic person but have to side with your girlfriend on this one. Unless you go get long-term help, you won't/can't change.

    I disagree with devorameira to a point..

    Sometimes in life our behaviour can change due to stress,medical or outside pressures beyond our control... the op does not state that the verbal abuse has been continious throughout the relationship,it seems to me that the last year had been where the verbal abuse has come into play in the relationship..

    There's is not enough information to say that the bad behaviour cannot be adjusted.

    I think it is very possible for someone who was verbally abusive to change.

    It takes time to get over a break up. I'm sorry that there's no magic potion for immediate relief.

    Many of us have gone through painful breakups and we all founds ways to overcome the pain. We all learned that "time heals all wounds." You need to be patient with yourself.

    Try reading these stickes at the top of the relationship section:

    Have you read the stickies in the relationship forum.. theres one by 'friend4u' I think you will see a lot of your present circumstances in that thread.

    If she is not calling you,and not trying too make contact,you doing it will only cause you to feel worse right now.

    Can you call a friend?

    Well then hoppy,welcome to the amhd board,there's always someone here,and plenty to learn and read.

    Looking through other posts can help you see how others coped in your situation,perhaps even help someone else.

    Helping someone else is great for distracting the mind... its also gives you the munchies... you have been warned!

    Perhaps when the emotional dust settles she will make a move to get them back,or ask someone else to do it..

    I would strongly advice you to be perpared for that.

    Also,to keep a cool head.

    I don't know.

    People deal with breakups in their own way.. she may be upset,or relieved.


    Its understandable to want her to know how much this hurts,but I think from your posts,she tried,and she was hurting before things ended...
