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 made it without returning any contact yesterday. Thank you to all of you who responded and sent me hugs and messages. I know I can do this. Today is day 7 I have not made any attempt to contact him. I have some anxiety because I seriously don't know his next move to contact me. I figured the texts and email would be happening. So I am sure the phone calls and voice messages will be next. He still has his things here, and he isn't supposed to come by unless I am gone. I don't want to see him. I don't want to talk to him. I just don't want to give him the chance to be hateful to me ever again. I am not going to respond to him, because I figure if I did, he is going to ignore me and then I will feel stupid all over again. He doesn't get to ignore me anymore. He has done that so many times over the past 5 yrs. I would call or text or email, and he would not return anything. Just to be mean. It has to start being about me and not him. Well thanks again you are all awesome.
Well done you for seeing that you need to be your own best friend now. Get yourself some counseling if you can, you'd be amazed at what others see that we never do when we are in these situations.
We think you are pretty awesome too!
