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.

Hi,
Have just joined this site. My mother was very emotionally and psychologically abusive towards me and my sister when we were growing up. She constantly taunted us with derogative comments and names and told us she wished that we'd never been born. My sister has cut off contact with her completely because of this and i have also decided to do the same thing after the last conversation i had with her. I have been diagnosed with Bipolar 11 and struggle with alcoholism. I also boyfriends who were abusive, one was physically abusive and i don't think i have ever dealt with ths fully. I think that i have PTSD as i have nightmares almost every night and my self esteem is very low. I am unable to get close to anyone because i fear that i am unworthy so i don't even try. This makes me feel very isolated and lonely and sets me up for more drinking. I guess what i want to ask is does it ever get better or does past abuse stay with you forever? Thanks for reading.

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...
I hope all works out for you. *hugs*
