i don't think the verbal abuse i suffered when i was with my ex was extraodinarily awful, but just reading the comments about verbal abuse a couple of pages back sent me into a really bad place

that doesn't usually happen to me about anything, but for a few minutes i had that sort of hollow feeling in my chest, and my eyes were tearing up and i thought that my current so couldn't possibly love me because (insert every negative thing my ex ever said about me)
