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 sucks, but it's going to take time and personal work to heal from all the havoc he wreaked. And by getting rid of him and keeping up the no contact, you will find that it will get a little easier each day. If you aren't in therapy, I highly recommend it w/someone who is experienced in areas of PTSD & abuse.
Hugs to you!!!
