Let me give you an example. We were rough housing one day, pushing and shoving each other, and both laughing about it. he suddenly pushed, I was wearing socks on carpet so my feet slipped, and I fell over a chair. As I fell, I landed on my back, my shoulder hitting an out facing corner. I have a partial tear of my rotator cuff as a result. Now, had I said ... "He pushed me! I have a massive black bruise on my arm and I hurt my shoulder badly, ripped something.. omg! He abused me!!" But, as you can tell, by the events I described, he didnt. This is called.. personal responsibility. I wont label someone an abuser who wasnt. I feared his anger at times, I feared his silence even more. He physically punished me once.. and while i had a bruised ass for two weeks, he went white as a ghost each time he saw the bruises. IF he had beat me... IF he had made no attempts that i was dry and had a warm place to sleep. If he had neglected me, beyond neglecting my heart, I could see calling it abusive. He did none of those things. He did exactly what he promised he would do. Ihad a bed, I had a roof over my head, I had clean clothes, warm food, and the security of knowing a strong man was there to take care of me. I really could not ask for more... because that is all he promised me.
