It doesn’t matter what you do in an abusive relationship. You are treading on eggshells. You are constantly aware that you may upset him with the smallest of actions or inaction.

That burden weighs heavily on your shoulders. Every day you become smaller, weaker, fatigued and exhausted. You hate yourself for not leaving, for putting up with it.

So you bend to his violence and keep on bending... till you break.
