I think my partner is emotionally abusing me! He says nasty things to me and if I dont do what he wants, then he makes me feel really bad! He is forever trying to change me: 'Do this' 'Do that' Dont do it like that' 'Dont speak to him/her' 'Dont behave like that' etc. I dont know if Iam overeacting but it is really messing up my head at the moment and I just need to know to do..how to be stronger and deal with it better. All I seem to do is cry. Help :-(

Confused Lil One :-)

Always remember that you are not responsible for his emotional well-being. The only person of whom that is true is him. However, if you simply aren't ready to leave, that is perfectly normal too. These things are big decisions and do take time.

I think that the plan of going back to school and taking a break from him is a great one. By September, you will have had plenty of time to think about what you want to do and gather your resources to do it. Best of luck, and do keep us posted!
