I hope your not making this decision based on what other people say. Doesn't sound like your heart is in it. I'm going to tell you what I told my daughter at 18. She had a boyfriend that treated her about the same way. She was very ambivalent on what to do. I told her, "Baby girl, you don't need me or anyone else to tell you what to do. I'm not going to tell you to stop seeing him. When you get tired of the way he treats you, you will do that (breakup) on your own. Until then you go through that relationship and learn whatever lessons you need to."

Dog, do what's best for you in your own time.

hugs for you, little one

Agree very much with Naleena here, sometimes deep down you know the answer but when you are the one emotionally involved it's so much harder.

I also agree with Naleena. Why we can give out an opinion we can only do that based on what we know. And while one thing can be good for one person to do. For another person it may not be such a good thing.

Only you are well placed to know what the best thing would be to do. After all its you living your life not us.

Do what is best for you.

Of course I'll do what I think will be best. As I said in the first post, I just needed to tell this someone, to make it easier.

Thanks for your care

hey Dog,
First up I'm sorry about your Dad. He sounds like an arse! I used to have a pretty strained relationship with my father and he never did anything so hurtful. I hope you and your mum & Sister are OK. I hope you can find comfort in the fact that this is entirely his doing, no child could ever desearve that from their parent.

Second-of-ly: Dropping may hurt but you've got to do it. It doesn't sound like you've got much of a relationship anyway and if you cut her loose you'll leave with your self respect.

Stay srong Dog, bad things come all at once sometimes but you can get through it.
