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 am new here, and i was just reading some of your discussions, the one's i have read so far is about being abused by husbands, or partner's. My story is a little different.
I was abused by my mother for years. The first memory i have is hiding under my bed to get away from her coz she was really angry with me, i was about 2 years old. I remember when i was 3 she put my foot on the fire and burnt it, i just remember screaming with the pain, and having to lie to the dr.
The physical abuse has now finally stopped but i am still being abused emotionally by my mum and my dad. I have told them now that i want no contact with them, but its difficult as they are still trying to control my life. I live on my own now, have for a few years, i ran away from them as i couldn't take being beaten up by my mum or sexually abused my by dad.
I hope finally i am on the right path.
Thanks for reading xx

I am in therapy have been for 3 years now, but i still find it difficult to deal with at times. I find it difficult to understand why a parent would do such things to thier child, often believeing it happened because it was my fault i deserved to be punished, or just the fact that they must not love me for this to happen.

my father was also abusive to me and my family. we were very scared of my dad.It went on until I was seventeenwhen he was choking me and I pushed him off of me and told him if he ever touched me again that I would kill him. he never touch me again until years later when I was already down.its almost like he sensed weakness in me. you are not alone here. my husband is the first man who ever showed me how love is supposed to be shown.all of my abuse was from my father and uncle. please dont ever think you are alone here.Im here if you want to talk.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
