Family Issues Support Group
Family issues is a huge range that go from minor conflict to major misbehaviour and even abuse on the part of individual members of the family occur. Whether you feel you are in a dysfunctional family or you're dealing with a very specific issue, this is the place to talk about it and find others who might be going through the same thing.

I'm trying.
Hugs to you all.
I don't know what makes a person abusive but that character flaw is their's to own and is not something for you to burden yourself with. There's nothing you've done that would justify any type of abuse.
Do you have any family to turn to and talk about this to? A close friend? A co-worker? What does your therapist have to say about the abuse? If you haven't talked to this person about it, I would do so soon.
I hope you post soon to let us know how you are doing.
Hugs,
PD
No, my family is more abusive than him.
I left him for a year. It was a disaster.
I have talked with my therapist about it and we have a plan in place in case of an emergency.
He hasn't been physically abusive in quite sometime. He is abusive in other ways and very controlling, but I just do the best I can.
