Hi, I finally found the message board for domestic abuse. I've been posting messages for help on the relationship saver message board and I got very supportive help.
I've been in an abusive relationship with my boyfriend for ten years. I realized that I've been physically and emotionally abused only two weeks ago and I'm planning to leave him.
For ten years I thought I was the problem. But one day the words "destructive relationship" just popped into my head and I looked it up on the Internet when I was alone. I was so surprised and shocked to see how the descriptions were exactly the same as the situation I was in. I am so thankful for discovering the fact that the problem wasn't me. I'm also glad I found out before we were legally married.
I was too ashamed to tell anyone around me about the problems in our relationship. Your message boards are a big help. And soon, I'm going to talk to my parents about it after I leave him. Thank you very much.

Hi again,
I am glad you came over to this board. Check out the board website in the learn about this community area. It has a large amount of information on leaving safely and healing. It also lists the national domestic violence hotline and they are also a great place to start gathering information.
Keep posting and ask any questions you have. We are all here to help.
Welcome, Sooyon.
