I am bold enough to admit that I am in an abusive relationship and it is hard! It is hard to let go of love no matter how bad the relationship is going! It takes a lot of strength to put keep a relationship going well and it takes like ten times the strength to break it off! Whether it is the female or male abuser, feelings are involved and emotions take over your body like being under the influence. All I can do is pray that things will get better not worse for me and my children.
