The Supernova Project. / supernovaproject.orgMarco (a pseudonym), had always been confident, talkative and strong-minded. So, when he first told his friends that he thought he was experiencing domestic abuse, he says no one could believe him. “At the beginning, they think you're crazy,” Marco told me. “Everybody was like, that's not true, it's impossible that someone is doing that to you.”
The abuse started with "stupid things...so I was accomodating," he said. Soon, “I had to ask him what to do all the time, because I was afraid something was going to happen after. I stopped going out, [I was] at home all the time," he continued. "At a restaurant, I had to ask him what I wanted to eat, just in case he would getting angry.”
