the relationship and not necessarily towards me but towards other people but then he started charting at you yes but
what would he say to you I mean there was one time where he was uh he had been drinking and he fell and
he thought that I had beat him up so things like he would say you know you you [ __ ] you beat me in the face things
like that where you don't know how to react um he was definitely very verbally abusive to me H very emotionally abusive
he was very controlling he always wanted wanted to know where I was who I was with if he
didn't believe me he would find my family he would ask me to send photos of what I'm wearing and the person I'm
sitting next to and did he get talk to about what you wor yes um that was actually quite a big thing in our
