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.
I never received an email back from the Therapist I had been going to and I know it sent to her private email address. This was back around Christmas. While I feel a bit hurt as she did seem to connect with me (even though she did not specialize in abuse) I suppose as I am not currently a paying client, she did not feel the need to reply.
Anyway I am still waiting for my insurance card and in the meantime I have been searching for therapists who specialize in abuse, depression, grief, anger, guilt..just to name a few. I also am having to build my savings back up as my younger brother needed money again.
Hoping his disability kicks in soon as I am not sure how much longer I can do this. I am not griping really as I am the one working but I am just feeling a bit overwhelmed at being alone financially, emotionally and physically.
I did journal a bit yesterday to get some stuff out that has been eating at me..not sure if it helped or upset me more. Bad migraine today and just down.
Guess this is just a scattered vent and I appreciate anyone listening.

Not knowing why someone else is doing or not doing something creates such a wonderful opportunity to practice patience. I am so very proud of you for being courageous and open enough to talk about your relationship with your therapist. Sharing is one of the most productive ways to pass the time while waiting to hear back from her.
Way to go Joanie! And as I have said in other comments, I always have one small scoop of ice cream while I am waiting, or thinking, or doing pretty much anything that doesn't require using my hands. Just one tiny scoop. It doesn't help me think...it's just yummy.
I am sure there is a reason why the therapist has not replied, but if it was at all possible for her to reply, it would have been nice to know what was happening, I totally get that.
Could she have had ill health, or have gone for surgery? Be taking a break from seeing clients? Or have a full client list at the moment?
Those are just some of the possible causes.
So sorry you are sick :( I think it is a wonderful thing you are doing for your brother, but yes, it is also a responsibility and I can understand you feeling the weight of that.
I do hope things get better soon for you. You are a wonderful person! :) Vent away... Hugs xxx
So sorry ur having a bad day. I'm having one too :( I really can't offer any advice, but I just wanted you to know I am here for u!
Big Hugs sweetie pie ;)
Ur little brothers lucky to have you in his life, but it's more responsibility for you I'm sure. Big hug.
I suppose I just feel as I usually do when I don't hear back from someone or get the silent treatment that I said something wrong or am not worthy of a reply.
Too many years of abuse I suppose makes me afraid to reach out.
Hugs.
