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 wish I could understand all of this. I don't think it is meant for me to understand. Today is the 12th day I have not initiated contact with him. I do okay when I am at home, but everyday when I get to work or on my work it is really hard. My whole day is full of pain. I am fine in the morning, and about 8 every morning this pain hits my heart. I get the urge to call, but I don't because I know he will just ignore my call or it will let him continue to think he has power over me. That is what this is all about right? Control, power, all of it, he never hit me, but he sure slammed every way possible emotionally, mentally, and verbally. I hate this feeling. I am really getting depressed today.

Get into some sort of hobby or activity. Exercise is good, how about joining a gym? Think about what you like to do and do it after work so you aren't tempted to call. You'll meet new people whereever you go and before you know it you'll be back to your old self.

I had this feeling before too. I told a friend and she said, "Well, when you feel like calling him just call me instead." I did that for a while and it was a big help.

hmm i always thought that the memories helped. sure, it hurts to remember but once you do you realize the reasons why your currently not talking to him and why it should remain that way.

Find a friend to talk to instead, but don't spend the entire time talking about him. Talk about other things, distract yourself. Find new hobbies, or find time to do things you love and make you feel good.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
