Hi guys,
I am a phd in the field of waves. I faced problems with my supervisor over the last years with very bad treatment. He was abusing me, threatened me, humiliating me. I felt very embarrassed and discriminated. Of course, I have written in a hundred pages what happened in the past including dates, content and evidence material. His behavior towards me affected my behavior. What can I do about it?

Have you spoken to anyone in your department about this? The head of your graduate school or pastoral carers?
Yes, who is the person in your department/school/faculty who is there for that purpose? There should be someone whose role is as a person who you can go to about such "issues" as you are facing. Sounds hideous by the way - sorry to hear about it.
I suggest taking this up with your student union associate representative officer. They are expert at this and they know the issues at the Faculty, Department, Discipline level and sometimes even down to the individual academic. There is no balance-of-power in the Institution/supervisor -- PhD student set-up, although in most cases there is no abuse, but when there is, it can be horrific. I totally support you. Feel free to PVT me direct if you want. I know exactly what you are going through. Jay
