Subject: Hi Lyn, to answer your question, yes, it sounds like you are in an abusive relationship. Abuse comes in various forms: physical, emotional / psychological, spiritual, financial and sexual. It is easy to see you are in pain. My question to you would be, "what would you like to do with this pain?" I just wrote an article that I will post on line now teaching us about why we have bad emotions.
