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.
It is not lasting as long as in the past. How do you get over the drain of an argument??
Yesterday the arguing was exhausting. I get into the habit of thinking he has compassion for what hurts me and I share it and he gets angry and hurt and nothing is resolved and I am hurt worse.
Puffy eyes, headache, feeling like a creep, feeling like I wished we could just get along.
I went and did my own thing - rest, TV (thank God for "America's Funnyest Videos" - laughing helped). I took a bubble bath. I ate ice cream. I went to bed early.
I disengaged. Today I felt better. I realize I may be nearing the end of my rope here. Sometimes he's receptive to stuff and other times he is defensive. I am tired of it. I don't have to be a volunteer anymore.

I know what you are trying to do, to make things better, but a lot of times they just dont get it,but remember how precious your life is and that you deserve to have your feelings acknowledged.
Take Care :)
