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.
its been quite a ride since i have had time to get on this site. I been single now for 7 months! traveling the nw with my children and some friends. Back in September of last year I lost my job. and just went crazy and been lost for a bit.
about the same time my 14 year old disclosed about the abusive man I was with. I think I named him pothead! but anyway it all got called circumstantial and i never got to press charges or anything on behalf of my daughter! the investigators said it was her word against his! I was so mad.
I never in my llfe felt capabel of murder in my life. thankfully my sister and my brother were there to stop me and get me to a point where i was thnking straight. I still get mad when i see him to this day!
But after a year of not working. and just doing nothing and drowning in my depression and feeling sorry for myself. I started going to counseling and got me a temporary job. and I am doing ok now. I still go to counseling and so does my girl. '
For those of you who know my story my older girl who is now 23 disclosed at age 11 and today she is blessed with a 1 year old. But she still battles with alcoholism and now has added meth to the equation.
my 23 year old wont go to counseling and blames me for all her misery.
my 14 year old is doing great she is keeping busy in school and had a 3.85 gpa at the end of the school year last year. this summer she kept busy with 4-h and now is going to the state fair and doing a competition over there in September. I cant keep up with her. She loves her counselor and they get along well. I just worry that she is like me and can just do what she does and still not deal with the issue at hand. if that makes sense.
but yes I will definitely keep in touch here.
being single has definitely been different. I get lonely at times. but I just hang on to my children and know that each and every one of them is safe.
I still go through shame and guilt because of the these men I let in my life. But I remind myself that it wasnt me who made those decisions for them. I keep a hold of my spirituality and prayer life. and surround myself with positive loving people.
I think in short that is all I have to share. I hope everyone here is safe and on there way to a healthier lifestyle.

I've been single for a year now. At first it was really hard. Then at some point I accepted that I need this time in order to mourn, to heal, and to get myself back together after all of the abusive relationships I've suffered through. I like to think of this as like I'm just taking a break...resting on a cloud for a while. I wish you all the best. Thanks for coming back to say hi.
