i just needed some girls support, i feel so alone. i posted about legal advice yesterday and mentioned my abusive boyfriend. people went through my profile and called me crazy, told me it was my fault, and said i deserved every bad thing that happens to me. half of my messages are full of men harassing me and telling me it’s my fault that he abuses me, and the other half is men being gross and sexual. a few nice girls reached out to me but there are more aggressive comments than supportive ones. it seems like the comments are full of men angry at me because i’m scared to leave my bf because he’s abusive.
this was my worst fear. reaching out to others and being told it’s my fault, i’m the reason why i’m being abused. why do i have to take accountability for another man’s actions? i’m so tired and scared and i have no one besides him. how much more proof do men want that i’m really being abused? i document his abuse weekly and try to include as much detail as i remember. would they believe me if i showed them the photos? or was i just never going to be believed in the first place?
this whole experience has made me scared to reach out to anyone for fear i’ll look crazy. i don’t feel comfortable documenting the abuse on here anymore but this is the only place he won’t find it. i feel so stupid and alone, the world really is cruel.
