What are your experiences or anecdotes of abusive women and did you or others find help after?

The only example I can give is my mother, but I don't think that's quite what the question was asking. But pretty classic emotionally abusive traits, like she would fake cry and scream "you don't love me" if I wasn't being affectionate enough. This was when I was in my mid-late teens.

I’ve seen all of the above behaviors; some of them in one of my own relationships. I didn’t realize quite how bad it was until I seriously started going to therapy. I consider myself lucky. A lot of guys never talk to anyone and keep walking around with that weight on their shoulders.

Had a girl in highschool put me through mental warfare for at least 3 years. She kept telling me how much she loved me, break me down, and build me back up again. It legit took me 5-6 years after highschool to mentally and emotionally recover after that.

Had an ex girlfriend punch me in the face after my buddies girlfriend gave me a hug.

Had an ex gf try to baby trap me once

Sadly, I've experienced most of these things at different points in my life. Although I had an inappropriate relationship with an older women when I was very young that probably set me up to be a magnet for this type of abuse.

Anecdotally the most common thing I see out in the world is women being verbally abusive to their partners often to a point of just completely breaking them. It does seem to be changing quite a bit with younger generations though, so that seems promising.

My mom when she got on medication turned really bad. I would be yelled at for things like cleaning, joking around, etc.

She won’t allow me to help her since she’s sick and only lets my brother and dad help. And the times when I had to she would throw a fit.

She would throw a fit when I was younger when my dad would take us out and I’d order anything. Being mocked for everything.

Then after that was my first ever girlfriend at 17. She asked me out but ended up lying about texting and snapping her ex everyday and even lied about him being unwell and struggling. After a while of me catching her in lies and me saying I wasn’t ok with it she called me controlling and had half of my small town hate me by spreading ideas that I was controlling.

Both still stick with me to this day and I developed a drinking and depression problem from it
