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.
Happy Easter everyone.
Today is starting to be a good day, after a peaceful weekend. My bf is picking up an easter basket for my son (I usually make his easter basket but a majority of his basket items was sent to the wrong address) So my bf is picking up candy and a little basket when he gets off work. He offered to do it. Looks like we have entered into a peaceful time. Just wonder for how long. I will be enjoying the quiet but my guard is not going to be coming down.

I was also glad to know you are aware and your guard is up. You cannot rely on that peace.
It is unusual that abusers recognize they have a problem and seek help.
I will not go back to having to be on guard all the time. I remember it well.
The physical abuse I endured was way easier to live with than the emotional abuse I endured. Emotional abuse was soul consuming and almost convinced me the bad things about myself were true. That I was somehow lesser than. And not deserving of love.
Love should be freeing, unconditional, warm and feel good, not obsessive, consuming, jealous, fearful and dark.
