Facing Abuse And Having A Troubled Relationship

evening dr. I am 18 years old and when i was 11 my mother passed away and i lived with a man who i thought was my father but is my step father he used to physically abuse me and ask me to massage him by touching his penis. Anyway i moved away from him and now live with my boyfriend i dont love him well sometimes i do but he shouts and me and calls me ugly names yet i cant seem to leave him whenever i try he apologises and we are happy now at times i just cant stand him and i realised that he is exactly like my step father or am i just thinking that he is?

you went through abuse when you were a child and you are projecting what happened then to what is happening now. what your boyfriend is doing with you is wrong and he needs to stop. you need to put your foot down and tell him it wont work out between you two this way
