@ErinPanhandle Yes! I would dread coming home from work and would avoid it as long as I could. I would also stay gone as long as possible when I had errands to run.

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but you have to walk on eggshells because you don’t know what kind of mood he’s in that day.

[Larissa Hodges @LarissaHodges]

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but you go to lunch with a friend and he doesn’t believe you so then you get notifications the whole time that someone has requested your location.

[Larissa Hodges @LarissaHodges]

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but you’re too ashamed and embarrassed to tell anyone about the emotional/mental abuse in fear that no one will believe you or it won’t be taken seriously or even seen as abuse.

[Larissa Hodges @LarissaHodges]

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but your best friend has been a literal witness to the emotional/mental abuse and you called her for help once and he tried to tell her it’s all lies and turn her against you.

[Larissa Hodges @LarissaHodges]

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but he goes to INCREDIBLE lengths to make up an extravagant lie to gaslight you and convince you to ignore your gut instincts.

[Larissa Hodges @LarissaHodges]

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but you have been in fear for your life around him more than once.

[Larissa Hodges @LarissaHodges]

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but he’s pushed you down a few times and grabbed your arm and squeezed it while he threatened you. All instances were my fault and I brought it on myself.

[Larissa Hodges @LarissaHodges]

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but he pulled a gun on himself and asked “is this what you want?”

[Larissa Hodges @LarissaHodges]

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but he inflicted post separation abuse on you when you decided to quit taking his bullshit and leave him.

[Larissa Hodges @LarissaHodges]

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but he tells you he wants a divorce 3 times over the course of your marriage and says it’s “because you deserve better and I don’t think I’m good enough”. If a man tells you that you deserve better…run sis. He is incapable of treating you right & knows it.

[Larissa Hodges @LarissaHodges]

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but he punched your windshield and shattered it in high school when you broke up with him.

[Larissa Hodges @LarissaHodges]

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but he picks a fight right before bed and will force you stay awake to continue the fight. It doesn’t matter if you ignore; he will keep saying your name, poke you, follow you into another room if you try to get away. He is relentless.

[Larissa Hodges @LarissaHodges]

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but he says “I trust you, I just don’t trust them” and he can’t stand when you go out without him. Meanwhile, he can go out with whoever and do whatever.

[Larissa Hodges @LarissaHodges]

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but makes you feel awful and guilt trips you when you don’t want to have sex or do certain sexual acts.

[Larissa Hodges @LarissaHodges]

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but he insists on picking fights because he thrives on conflict and drama. Then pushes you to your limit and breaking point and you react to his abuse. This is called “reactive abuse” and they hang it over your head.

[Larissa Hodges @LarissaHodges]

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but he will make everything your fault and say there was a reason for every abusive action he took against you and that you deserved it.

[Larissa Hodges @LarissaHodges]

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but you end up making decisions based on what his reaction will be.

[Larissa Hodges @LarissaHodges]

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but he treats you like his property and calls you names like bitch, whore, slut and degrades you. He swears he loves you more than anything and you are the most important thing in his life all while he treats you like garbage and cheats on you.
