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 do not know whether the divorce can be pushed, my husband (we r not divorced been seperated 5 years almost) is engaged to his girlfriend. Far as I am concerned, no big deal they will do what they are going to do anyhow, the trick is to learn to accept the inevitable.
Harsh as this sounds...stop reaching out to your kids. They know were you are. They are not doing anything to help you right now, & it sounds as though you have some seriously tough issues going on. Sometimes we have to let go of things for awhile and take care of us.
I've been readin regularly on here for quite some time now, and the love n support these peeps give to each other is amazing.
I kept wanting to join, but was too scared. But ur story touched a nerve in me and I felt i had to talk with you.
Ur story so resembles mine. Was married in what I thought to be a "typical" marriage. Was constantly berated and a few times physically abused for most of the marriage. Always screaming at the top of his voice - even tellin kids it was their fault!!! Towards the end, his violence escalated and peeps were mentioning gettin social services involved. I didnt want my kids taken into care and so, I left on that basis. Jeez, hell hath no fury. My now ex hubby promised me he would get me sectioned (tried twice n failed) turn my family against me (only my sister, but no loss there anyway) and get my kids off me (yep - fell for that one).
My eldest hasn't spoken to me for 2 years n the youngest has just about severed ties too.
These men r pure evil - pls do not rise to the bait, dont fall for it like I did. Your kids are hurting hun. Please keep writing to them, even if they dont reply. We have to let them see in their own good time. I truly know what ur going through. xxx
