Not only was the abuse levelled against me by my partner physical, but also mental. Take note: you are being domestically abused if your partner is doing these things to you:
humiliation
constant criticism
verbal abuse and name calling
imposition of unreasonable rules and ultimatums
enforced isolation from friends and family
threats against you or others you are close to (eg your children or pets)
destruction of belongings
excessive jealousy and possessiveness
control over what you wear and how you look.
All of which Cash Teran, playwrite, failed rockstar, and serial liar has done to me. As well as beat me on several occasions including an incident where hit me with a hammer and was convincted, rightly so.
Don't let this abuse happen to you too. I am free from it now and will remain so.
