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 an abuse and incest survivor from years ago, many years ago, i blocked alot of the bad stuff out and it recently became unblocked about 8 years ago, i had alot of issues and quirks with how i was and i never understood why the phyaical abuse happened in the form of bullying, and to be honest looking back now it made me a stronger person today even though at the time it was a horrible series of events. anoyhow my questions are these
due to most of my abuse coming from men, i find it hard to carry on a conversation or be friends with guys evwn on here. i have alot of female friends at leasst on the computer in real life i dont have any friends really, anyhow, due to my abuse i am compelled to help people, and sometimes its even obsessive, for example when i find out someone has been perverted or nasty to a friend on here i get rid of them from this sight, i have helped get alot of crrepers and stalkers removed, i always consider my problems secondasry to anyone elses. i think because even thought i have my issues i lead a pretty normal life. anyhow does my story sound familiar to anyone.

I am sorry you have been through such abuse.
I guess I write because I find myself on my "white stallion" ready to save the world at times too. A very wise woman shared with me that there are times to saddle up and charge and there are times when I need to leave my stallion in the barn. Meaning, Yes, at times I can be helpful in someone elses battles, but sometimes cheering from the sidelines as they fight their own battles is part of their journey to recovery and self-worth. Not only has this advice helped me in gaining friendships, but it has also helped me understand my part in overcoming the abuse I suffered.
I don't know if this will be helpful to you in your quest to understanding your life and gifts, but I hope it at least highlights the power of how involvement can be a strength either from the sidelines or in direct pursuit.
I truly wish you the best!
