Abusive Partners Quotes Quotes

“We need to unpack the tragedy of abuse in relationships. The first step towards it is usually abandonment. Emotional, financial, mental, or physical abandonment.”

“Often after work, I wander aimlessly around the city. I sit in bars and look at women's faces, searching for a piece of myself. I want to return to a different home, a home where he isn't. I guzzle champagne and savour the bravado and false hope it gives me. The bars eventually close and it's time to stagger back to Cell 208, where my lover awaits me, with clenched fist and gritted teeth.”
― Vanessa de Largie, Don't Hit Me!
