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'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...
emotionally abused by both
my husbands. MY first husband
kicked me in the stomach
when I was pregnant and I also
lost that baby. I could write a book about all my
experiences. You are not
alone.
I feel so much empathy for you and your loss. I cannot imagine loosing a child.
You must feel as though you are living in a nightmare.
It all changed for me when, one day, I reaslied that he was so terrified of loosing me he would do anything he could to keep me with him. I also realised on this day that my life was in danger too.
You are a beautiful loving and amazing woman. You are too amazing to let your life flutter out without resistance.
There is another way. You just have to find it. Please try to find it.
Too many women fall by the wayside- and you are worth more.
maybe we can all get thrugh this together.
I was verbally, emotionally, physically and sexually abused by my ex for 5 years. When i left him i didn't get counseling to join a support group or anything for 7 years. Just recently the nightmares and flashbacks returned with a vengence and I couldn't bury my head in the sand any longer. Just because I turned my back on it doesn't mean it went away. It just found sneakier ways to hurt me.
Sweetie you've already taken the first step to healing, you are here. Now you need to get yourself some counseling. Call your local DV hotline or shelter. You don't need to be living there for them to help you. There is no way for you to deal with this alone, I know that because I tried to do it. Trust me on this one, it doesn't work. The only way to keep from feeling so isolated and afraid is to surround yourself with strong women who have been where you are.
Stay strong, stay safe, and let us hear from you.
