I didn't know I had a right to say "No!" because I got hit or slapped in the face. I didn't know I had the power. I was the victim, martyr, scapegoat, and all those other roles we played to try to keep someone else happy. In relationships in recovery, I would think, "I have been here before." I would recognize it for what it was, "Abuse!" That isn't acceptable any more, and if we could come to an understanding, he was gone.
