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.
my mom is here from L.A. visiting. I havent seen her for 6 years and she is 68 years old. There is a large dance that cost $40.00 a person to get into on saturday. He has been refusing to do things with me and things are very strained. I also believe me is hiding $$$. Anyway he asked if i wanted to go, I said I was busy my dtr was moving that day and my mom is here so I couldn't. They have these dances about 3 times a year. In 10 years we have never went. So he went tonight and got his ticket. He only bought one. I told him I didnt feel it was right as I may not have the chance to see my mom again. I felt he should have waited till we both could go instead of him going alone. He says I go to my water exercise class and dont take him and that is the same thing. I did take him once and he was afraid of the deep water and got out so I havent asked again. So am I wrong to think he should have waited for me to go also?
You are not wrong, though this particular thing is on the subtle end. What it is, is totally UNloving.
You said in your profile that you're getting better at spotting abuse. That's great.
You said, you're working on how to get yourself out. That's great, too.
Keep at it.
The scenario you described in your post is totally representative of emotional abuse.
You're entitled to a life free of abuse.
My best to you.

Hugs to you...you deserve to go to the dance too.
