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.
Today was the girls first session with the therapist. They were nervous. In fact the younger one was so vocal about not wanting to be there it was slightly embarrassing :-) I saw mine while the two of them split this first hour. It went amazingly well, they both loved her and are already eager for next Wednesday to get here so they can see her again! Thank God for that :-)
As for me, it went well although my therapist told me today that she is concerned that my level of anger is pretty high. She said she understands and agrees that it is necessary, but she thinks it may be better to try to o control it until it's safer. Not sure how to take that tbh. Sure I'm mad, but I'm not stupid. This is why I have moved up my target date to leave.
Anyway, just needed to share that great news about the girls experience :-)

Re: the therapist's
concern about your
level of anger, I'm
sure she knows your
not stupid, but sometimes
anger leaks out despite
our not wanting to show
it. I suspect that
THAT's what she
may have been
thinking.
Anyway, I'm glad that
the girls' session
went well!
Take good care.
As for you, keep moving forward. You're doing great! Take care of You. Anger is tough. But I think a certain, healthy amount keeps us focused and on our path.
Hugs,
