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 glad that you're seeing him with clearer lenses.
And yes. . . . . he would certainly see anyone who's treating you better than he is (which would be just about everyone), as a threat to his control over you. He knows that at some point you might be able to calculate the difference between being treated with respect and love. . . . and being abused.
Sending you good thoughts, warm hugs and wishes for strength and healing.
hope for a better life away from this abuse.
You are a child of God and he loves you as
You are. HUGS
Sending you strength and healing hugs.
