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.
My wife informed me that my last paycheck wasn't very good, so we'd be on tight restrictions for two weeks. She said I had 50 dollars, aside from my bills. Curious, I asked how much she had. She said she had 60 dollars cash in her pocket.
I'm waiting for a response to see if that includes things like eating out with the kids and groceries. I'm guessing no, but we'll see.
"Last night, the account was at zero, and it had to draw from savings. I'm not blaming you or anything, just informing.' Could be innocent, could be sinister.
The truely interesting thing is in this last week, I informed her I was looking for this paycheck to buy me a new couch, so the kids could stay over at my apartment. Also, last night, I splurged for myself and bought a new videogame - GTA5. I figured it would be nice to have the latest and greatest game out there, and it'd give me something to talk to others about. Even if it's not my usual genre. Kind of fun, except I find myself reluctant to steal the cars, and I spend a lot of time obeying the traffic lights, and driving with the traffic:)
So, yeah, I worked some short shifts last pay period. Had some doctor's appointments. Could be completely innocent. I think I'll ask my dad to help me with the couch, though. Tactic or not, I've hinged spending time with my kids on getting that couch. I need a place for them to sleep.

Of course I have no clue what is in her mind, but I suspect it's all about control. What I discovered was the more info I provided to the abuser, the more control he exerted over me in very covert ways.
Another thing I discovered was that what ever I stupidly confided in him was being shared w/other people, even his co-workers!
So IMHO, the less said to an abuser the better, especially when it comes to your personal stuff and your plans.
