Child Abuse Survivors Community Group
This group's primary focus is physical and/or emotional child abuse: our memories, how it's affected us as adults, how we've survived, etc.
Question:
Do you still see your childhood abusers?
Do they still abuse you?
How do you defend/protect yourselves against further attacks?
Do your abusers try and abuse your children?
If you no longer see your abuser, how has it been without them in your lives?
During the Christmas holidays, I was physically abused again by my mother: she grabbed my arm and placed it directly between her breasts and held it there. My reaction was slow is coming, and I allowed her to regain control of me by not reacting. She was so bold and did this right in front of everyone. The impact on me was that I lost control, and it took a serious EMDR session today for me to regain control. My therapist is relentless in emphasising that I must repeatedly say no to her or simply never see her again.
One women attempted to ruined my life, my mother; another women put me back in charge, my therapist.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
iwonde I hope we both can get to the point where we love ourselves more than trying to please our families.
actually I hope we all can.
