Don't stay with your nasty man - he will crush your self-esteem. Surely it is better to be alive and unharmed and to suffer from parcopresis (no matter how disabling it is to your lifestyle) than to be free of parcopresis but to be battered either physically or emotionally. Don't use your disappearance of parcopresis as an excuse to stay with a man, who deep down, you know is bad for you. Best wishes x x x
