Jekyl and Hyde
Nov 5, 2010
Abuse (Physical)
I have been through a very mentally and physically abusive relationship. He said he loved me, asked me to marry him and then he, sweet kind loving man, changed to Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde.  He was scary; he had such a bad temper and would have road rage every time we went somewhere in the car, get out and fight with people calling them all kinds of names.  I would leave his place, then feel bad and call him and he would never answer, so I went to his house he wouldn't answer the dog so I got on my hands and knees to talk to him through the doggie door as I was talking he called...

Abuse (Physical)
I have been with my boyfriend 2 yrs in April and most of the time we are arguing. I think it's something I'm doing wrong. I don't think I'm treating him right well. I don't know what to think really. He says that I do alot of things wrong but the problem is I really try my best I don't think I am getting anywhere no matter what I do it's always wrong. Please help me give me some advice. I think maybe it might be that we are not meant for each other but I hope that 's not true. Thank you for your time.

Will I Ever Accept Myself?
Sep 26, 2004
Abuse (Physical)
Dearest Dr. Love, I must thank you with all my heart for your precious help and for the concern you have for all those who need advice. I always read your column and I truly think that every single advice you give is brilliant and very helpful. Thank you kindly. I hope you can help me with this problem I've had probably ever since I was in my mother 's womb! It's about my very low self-esteem. . . It kills me to notice how low it is, and it saddens me every time I have negative thoughts about myself and every time I look with disgust at myself, or everytime I remind myself of how...

How Do I Not Send Mr. Fantastic Running?
Mar 25, 2002
Abuse (Physical)
Dear Dr. Love, First, I think you are terrific. You help a lot of people. Thank you. I've recently gotten out of a relationship with a beast. He was fantastic in bed but that was pretty much the only good part of the relationship which lasted over a year. He wasn't funny. We didn't have much in common to talk about. The courting part was nice of couse, but the rest was hell. He withheld kindness, intimacy and was basically an emotional popisical.
