Neglect is Abuse

There are many forms of abuse. Physical, emotional, psychological being the most common. But, there is another one that most people don’t always think about. Negligent abuse.

And right now, I’m experiencing this with my boyfriend. Looking back, I see that it’s always been there, worse even. Like the time when I thought I was pregnant or miscarrying and he told me he was better off alone. Or the times I’m going through stress and dealing with problems of my own, but he doesn’t ask how I’m doing or help me in anyway, but I’m always texting him and calling him to see if he’s doing okay or if I can help him somehow. Yet, he ignores my feelings most days. But, I love him, and nothing he does makes me love him less. But, that’s not right.

I need to stick up for myself. He needs to know I’m not just gonna drop anything and everything for him. But, I will. Anytime he wants me to come over, I’m there.

I’m so angry right now. I’m tired of being neglected. I’m tired of not seeing him until he feels like it.
