Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
Our traumatic past is what carries us down a mental hallway of false insufficiency and incapacity. It's those messages we really need to put out and keep our focus upon the world around us...which, truly, doesn't hold any grudge against us at all.
Making a conscious decision that I deserved and wanted a better life, that I deserved to be treated with respect, the realization that i could not change or control him or the way he treated me, and a level of misery that could only be stopped by stopping the abuse is what led me to make the best and only decision I could, to leave and end the relationship.
And yes i got so fed up with the insults and insinuations that i reached the point where i made the decision to stand up to my abusive family members when they abuse me and I have never regretted doing so.
