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.
Hello. I haven't been here for about a year. Some people here were kind to me but others were not so nice. So I left. I have come back to tell you that I am now divorced from my abuser. He is not allowed to come anywhere near me as I now have a restraining order in place. He was given a supervised community order and probation. He has also been tagged.
life has been hard and I am still receiving councilling. I carry a panic alarm with me which the police gave me.
I still get days when I'm down but I am much happier on my own now. I am finding it better not not have him controlling my every move. I have nobody to answer to anymore.
I actually am a better person now. I don't miss him anymore. To me he is out of my life and I feel nothing for him no more.
i get lonely but my work occupies my days. Evenings can be lonely.
I do not want another man in my life. And I will not be looking for one. I do not need a man .

It's hard to come here when we're going through so much towards the end.. I'm at that stage still for the last few months. I just happened to check in here today myself :)
I understand the feeling of not wanting to be in another relationship. And that's fine for now. Take all the time you need to heal yourself. Breaking free from an abuser takes a huge amount of strength and courage.. You should be proud of your journey so far ... You've come a very long way ..!
Come here for help when you need it.. Your friends are here.. I'm here :)
You are in my prayers.
Everyone can do it. They just need to find the strength from somewhere. It is not an easy thing to do. But once you find that strength there is no going back . You just keep on going forward without looking back.
Nobody deserves to be mentally abused. I stood up to my abuser in the end. My councilling helped me do that and he is being punished for his actions. I may be lonely at times but it's better to be lonely than to live in a situation that makes you feel like nothing. No more control. Just freedom
I'm so glad to hear you're divorced from your abuser, and that you are continuing to get help and support to recover. As Not has said, you will find friends waiting for you here despite what may have happened with a few in the past. I'm sorry you had to go through that on top of everything else.
I hope things continue to get better for you. Hugs xxx
It's so important for those who get out to come back and let us know how you are doing.
needafriend, you are a true inspiration!!!
~big hugs~
I am so proud of you and I also believe that we do NOT need these men or any man for us to be proud and strong and whole.
Onwards and upwards!
(Oh and of course I remember you).
So glad to hear your update.
Thrilled to hear that
you're free and living
life in yourself, as yourself.
Good work. Way to go!
Recovery is ongoing
so don't get upset if
some days are harder
than others. Keep
putting on foot in
front of the other
and moving forward.
Sending you hugs
and wishes for
only good things
in the year ahead.
Take good care!
I think there is a time difference as I am on here when others are not. I'm from Wales in United Kingdom. But I will keep in touch to anyone that needs me. I will reply as soon as I can . Hugs to you all
