Get counseling. And think about a new job.
The prosecutor should go over your testimony so you can practice.
No he is not a child abuser.
I am not sure if it's love that they are feeling. Abuse is a cycle that is really hard to break. Love is something healty and kind and there is no love in an abusive relationship. I believe that both parties can care about each other. For the abuser they are in love with the control they have over their partner. As far as the partner is concerned, they have a very low self esteem and feel like the abuser is their whole life and that they cannot make it without them. Both people are co-dependent and it is hard for either of them to end the cycle they have become so used to.

yup. but you should get over him.
Give him time. He will.
The first thing an abuser often does is establish control over their victim, which can manifest through manipulation, intimidation, or emotional abuse. This may involve isolating the victim from friends and family, undermining their self-esteem, or using threats to instill fear. By creating a power imbalance, the abuser seeks to dominate the relationship and make the victim more dependent on them.
Reasoning with an abuser is not something the abused person should probably try. Most abusers are very good at manipulation. If you try to discuss it with them, you may be disappointed and become more hurt and angry. If they are an abuser, they already know it, but do not expect them to admit it.Rather then reason with them, you should talk to someone that you trust about it. It might be hard to admit to someone that you are being abused, but it is better to face your fear by reaching out to someone then continuing to be abused.
