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.
Where do we start to build healthy relationships?
I was emotionally abused by my mother growing up, which developed me into a overly submissive person and also blinded to basic verbal abuse tactics (since it was "normal" to me).
I have been in some sorts of abusive relationship throughout my adulthood, but my marriage has been a doozy.
I left my husband almost a month ago and found myself unable to get started starting over. I realized yesterday it's because I'm in an abusive friendship/living arrangement.
Since I don't have a car, money, job, or even phone, my major living choices consist of shelters by my mom. :/ She also is in my stbx husband's corner.
I feel like I'm a target and feel left out of the world at large. I see my classmates have healthy, loving relationships and marriages and lives and all I see for me are broken dreams, thwarted careers, and a marriage he chose to hide except to trash me now friends, family, and new lovers.
When we leave, where do we go when we find abuse at every corner?

The others on here say if we spend enough time looking after ourselves, eventually we reprogram ourselves and resonate on a different level. And then we have nothing to feed the zombies perhaps !
Hope this helps hun. Really sorry. You are not alone. I am right with you today. HUGS and God bless you xox
I too grew up around an abusive stepmother and father. My mother was very distant, if not completely absent, when I was growing up and died when I was a teen, so I really didn't have much of a relationship with her.

THERAPY
Ilene, I agree with therapy. I will seek it once I get some sort of stability. Right now I can't even get to the shelter.
