I Have Been In An Abusive Relationship

I somewhat know where you're coming from. I never had an abusive spouse or significant other, but I was emotionally abused a great deal at my job as a part-time cashier (by customers AND managers). Then when I got my next job at a machine shop (of all places) and was treated with the utmost respect and dignity by almost everyone in our department even under the most stressful circumstances, I almost felt like something was very wrong because people refused to be condescending or unkind to me. There is no denying that this stuff fucks with your head!
