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 love that you are finding gratitudes in your life. That is a life changing practice.
Big hugs to you!!!
Keep working to find and keep your smile - it will bring joy to others as well as to you.
I am so glad you went and was able to bring joy to your friend. That must have meant so much to her. I'm sure you enjoyed the feeling also. Congratulations on having a great day on Saturday.

You know what stuck out for me with your post and the previous one about this day, was that your friend called you in an attempt to cheer you up and in return you did the same for her. That is true friendship and is so awesome and in the end you both helped each other!
Keep your head high, keep on fighting and stay strong! One day at a time. =)
Hmm... how to 'feel' beautiful...
If it helps, I've always felt inferior to others, much more so after abuse, and a turning point for me in my counseling was simply my counselor saying "Your thoughts and feeling are valid." I was so shocked to hear this, but really it's true. It wasn't a judgement; it wasn't "You are amazing" it was simply "You are valid" and that did it for me. I never felt that way before. I never felt equal.
Just letting you know in case it helps! Everyone's path is different. I wish the best for you!!!!!!!
