I feel like no one ever explains that there are more than one kind of abuse. Like I have seen the gamut on websites from 6 to 10 kinds. And the only one anyone every talks about is the physical kind. "Oh they don't hit me" doesn't mean you are not abused.

Your friends are upset for you bc what your BF is doing is upsetting LW. I hope that you can get the help you need and get out of a relationship that is truly scary (even if you don't see it yet).
