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 came to this site by accident.The people,support and advice are wonderful!I joined this a while back.The problem is since then, I have been reliving things I thought were in the past.My nightmares have began again.I dont know if it is good for me to talk here,but it feels so good to know ,there is a place I can go ,where people understand,and I am not alone.I value my animinity,and this is why I continue on here.I guess my question is,if being here is causing bad memories to resurface,then should I stay?I had a dream about my father last night,he was raping me again.In my dream he was so caring,and scary at the same time.So typical of him.I woke up at 4:00 this morning and ran to D.S.I am feeling like I'm going crazy.I hate feeling so weak.

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...
The unfortunate thing about the trauma caused by abuse is that we can bury things so deep that when they finally surface it can be weeks, months or even years later. Usually when that happens we are in a better place to deal with them, but it requires someone who is familiar with abuse and the associated diagnoses. PTSD and other personality disorders are common among abuse survivors, so try to find someone who specializes in those. Your flashbacks/nightmares are common symptoms to indicate PTSD (although not enough by themselves), so it would be good to have a complete workup.
I hope and pray that you are on the road to recovery, and can now process what has happened to you so that you can begin to heal.
