I lived through 2 LGBTQIA2S+ abusive relationships. One was 'isolating' the other was 'mentally abusive. The first relationship resulted in a full blown mental break down. the other was OCD on top of OCD and the person used a medical condition to escape prosecution and finally moved their heterosexual ex boyfriend in to help set up a situation where I was given no choice but to leave. I'm emotionally damaged for LIFE and I will NEVER trust ANYONE with my heart again. I live my life just wanting to feel a genuine 'cuddle' from someone who genuinely 'loves' me knowing that that can't happen because of the emotional damage caused to me! I am basically just waiting for life to fold in on me and it to become a second time for that bottle of pills to look really attractive again! The thing is... I 'really' loved the people who abused me and I didn't understand why they were being so nasty. One kept pressing my red button so badly that I grabbed her and threw her against a wall pleading with her to SHUT UP! But she didn't and she called the Police on me - When it was actually 'me' who should have called the Police on her! But when you are in love you are blind to these types of abuse!

Quiz - I'd take her to one side and ask her if she wanted to discuss it privately and if there were other issues going on?
