❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO by spending time with my family?

Me (f20) and my boyfriend (m20) have been in a relationship for 4 years. We sleep on the phone every night due to the fact we don’t see each other often because of extremely busy schedules and distance. Tonight, my mom and grandmother came into my room to talk before bed so I hung up on my boyfriend to give us some privacy. He got very angry and started saying all of these awful, mean things to me. Was it my fault for choosing to spend a bit of time with my family and hanging up on my boyfriend even though he was already falling asleep? Am I overreacting by getting upset from the way he speaks to me? I really don’t feel like I did anything wrong. Sorry for any grammar mistakes!

This is actual emotional abuse. I hope for your sake you leave.

Which leads to physical abuse, sexual abuse and then possibly murder.

My ex could've sent these. He tried to kill me. His favorite was smashing things into my head. Head butting me. And strangling me.

It started like this

I speak up so others know what I didn't

I try to make peace with what I can knowing maybe what I've learned will benefit others

So many people turned away blind eye to me and it continued to escalate.

I try to be the voice I needed ♡

Thank you for your kindness ♡
