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 don't know if this was addressed before but i didn't feel like searching all 200+ pages, lol.
anyways, i've been really aware lately of how my dysfunctional relationship w/ my bf affects all aspects of my life.
i'm considering leaving but i have conflicting emotions, esp in regards to his family. they're great people and i almost feel like they are my own family.
well, i agree with the notion that if u break up w/ someone u also break up w/ the family. i'm just sad cuz i would miss them. also, really concerned w/ how they'll view me for "breaking their son's heart." they probably have little to no idea to how bad he actually treats me. he does it in private and it's more emotional/psychological in nature.
has anyone had similar experiences or feelings?

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

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...
having good relations with them should make it easier to confide in them what he treats you like in private,mayhe a word from them would make him look at himself.
mine had been setting his family against me without my knowledge its only since i left ive realised this,
So when I filed for divorce, I sent her a letter telling her the events that led me to file. Not asking her to get involved, but explaining that I would always love her and her family, and I was sorry for any pain this would cause them.
She called me immediately, and she knows that her brother has issues, always had issues, and she just felt bad about the whole thing. We have not spoken often, but we do speak....My hope is that when this is all over I can still be auntie to her three girls...one of them is my God-child.
So, perhaps you could do the same type of thing with a member of his family....in the end, love of his family won't be enough to carry you through an abusive relationship...
Just remember, that no matter what happens, you need to be true to yourself, do what is best for YOU. Remember that life is a fluid situation, subject to change at any time. So if you lose them, you may get them back....
The only thing that won't change is him.....statistically, a very tiny tiny percentage of abusive men ever change, and a huge majority get worse...
Hugs..God bless
