By violence I mean I hit her once. So I felt bad, very bad and was told by her to leave for the night, as i should of course because we needed time. So She deicided to get drunk with my brother who also lives with us and take xanax. She has a perscription for that but took more due to her pain. Later that night I came home to find the to of them in our bedroom having oral sex. I left and was devastated. The next day my brother moved out and we decided to try and put the past behind us. Now I have been abusive before, for that I am forever wrong. But is her behavour in any way justified? Of course mine is not. Now I know we need help, Therapy and what not, but is that forgivable if we both try and change. I just dont know how I'll ever get that image out of my mind. Or my violence out of hers, what can I do?

reader, anonymous, writes (18 February 2011): I can imagine that the guilt you feel is enough to make you forgive anything your girlfriend could dish out. The fact that she helped herself to straining your relationship with kin is possibly purely drug induced, and the associated images you have should literally be disregarded as a dream sequence, which to her at the time is probably what they were and still are today, albeit nightmarish ones. Those that are unused to Xanax combined with spirits are usually alarmed when they regain consciousness by the irrationality of their behaviour.Without the drugs being a determining factor in the experience however, I would venture that her behaviour was sociopathic. Was your brother on Xanax as well or was he taking advantage of an already strained and vulnerable person. Under the circumstances he should have been a consoler. But the age factor, with you both being at the prime of your sexualities and adventurousness is always going pose improbable behaviours into the equation of living undisturbed existences that are otherwise just hit and miss and lots of fun in the process.

What the hell are you doing living together with a girl you have known only 7 months? Why is she doing drugs and alchohol, some of the most abused drugs are prescription drugs, especially among women, do you live someplace like Florida where doctors are willing to sell these on the black market?
You have no business either one of you being in a relationship. Neither of you are healthy enough to be in one.
I don't think her behavior was justified, I think it sounds immature and not even thought through....she just did that because he was there.
Ask her to move out. Go to counseling on your own to work out your issues with abusive behavior and anger. This will be the best thing you ever do for yourself and once you are healthy emotionally, you won't attract such weak willed sisters.

There are a lot of people she could have chosen to blow. To pick you brother, and "accidentally" get found out, means she was intentionally trying to stir up trouble for you and your family.
Thats the way her mind works. You will have noting but trouble with her.

Yes, you do need help, and I'm glad you've seen that. That's a good step. I'm not saying she was justified in what she did, but I certainly understand why she did it, and I won't judge her, because the truth was, she wans't looking for sex, she was looking for affection and love, which she didn't feel she could find with you. Even if it turns out that you can't get back together, you must get help for your rage, because one day you might hit a girl you love, and she might not get back up. You could try to get back together, but I wonderu if the damage has been done and you'd be better off getting help for yourself adn moving on. Don't wait around and pin all your hopes up, only to find out she's moved on and you're alone. That will send you back into your rage, whch you really don't want. The important thing is that you get help, understand why you have a problem with rage and never do it again. Good luck.
