He used to be extremely abusive and prone to anger at the drop of a hat. He used to force me to do things much against my wishes. But since I was very fond of him, I didn’t mind doing as he said for fear of losing him. However, now that I’m free from his shackles, I find myself regretting why I allowed him to control me and how could I have ever been in a relationship with him.
