My parents don't believe my ex hit me

I've broke up with my boyfriend of 3 years a couple of weeks ago. We lived together so I've moved back in with my parents. Last night my ex came down when I was out to drop some more of my things off and I walked in to see them all crying. My ex left and I asked my mam what was going on....she said he missed me and loved me and my parents love my ex too and would have loved things to work out between us and she was upset because I wasn't going to change my mind.
They know he's been hitting me though....Saturday night I was out with the girls and he came and took me to his and hit me. I couldn't walk my knee was injured and my eye black. I'm so angry that my parents have seen the state I've been in and still choose not to believe me. I'm hurt because I want to go to the Police because I've lived with physical and emotional bullying for nearly a year now but my parents don't want me to. I don't even feel like I want to live here anymore because of this...I thought they'd be happy I'd moved out of that, I was never brought up in an abusive home so I wasn't going to live with it anymore. I'm scared and alone. If my parents don't believe me who will? I don't seem to be getting any support from them almost as though I'm over dramatic and these things didn't happen to me. I haven't cried since I walked away but I do feel depressed. I know I've made the right decision but seriously need someone to listen to me and help me! xxxx

Never give up

Dear Laura,
The good thing is that you got away and you are safe. This is the first step for recovery and you have already accomplished this all on your own. " Congrats "
The abuser( your x )is the one with the problem and please understand it is NOT you. They tend to turn things around and actually make you think you deserve the abuse...and believe it or not, sometimes abuse women began to believe it themselves. However you are stronger and your know you don't deserve it and you did the right thing even if your parents are not supporting you.

We all need our parents support, but keep in mind not all parents are perfect. We are not, but one of our biggest mistakes as children, we tend to think this way. However, even if you do not have their support, it doesnt mean you need to follow their opinion. They are obviously wrong in this case, so you need to do what you need to do...and you know what? your parents will get over it.

Honey, you have to remember that you are your own person and you need to do what is right for you. You cant force anyone to believe you, you cant force anyone to support you...you need to find this in yourself.

By doing this, it will increase your self-esteem and make you stronger. Your depression hopefully will fade away once the scars begin to heal and before you know it, you will pass this and all it will be left was just a bad dream.

If you need to call the police, you do it. You need to show everyone that you mean business. I do not know how old you are or your status, but perhaps you need to start making plans ( setting some goals ) to move out on your own and live your life the way you want to, and not the way other are directing you.

hey, if you parents like you X so much, then he can move with them. ( lol )
I am sure you were physically and emotionally abuse...just remember this is not going to go away over night....but the more you do for yourself, the more you take things into your own hands...this is be your medicine for recovery.

Honey, set your goals and every single day, do something that gets your closer until one day you have accomplish it. Once you reach this, just sit down...take a deep breath and say " I did it all myself and I am proud of it. "
You have no idea how this feels.

Good luck

Thankyou

Thankyou so much for your kind words.
I am a very strong person I have getting through a lot of things at a young age and this is just another hurdle for me. I loved my ex to bits though that's why this time it is so hard. My mam said he hasn't abused me as I'm not covered for head to toe....how does this make sense???
Luckily I've got a lot of support from my friends and their families but it's getting nearer to xmas and I just want my family back.....I'm hurt that they are still in love with this lad he can do no wrong, not even bullying their own daughter! I don't feel like this is my home and I do feel lonely so this week I've been staying at my friends house.

Thankyou again for the advice.

Take care xxx
