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.
Take care of you

(it's possible it's not). . .
you still are LEGALLY
prevented from contact.
Please STICK WITH THAT.
HE
BROKE
the marriage contract
when he ABUSED you.
Many (although I want to be optimistic and say I am sure not all) families of abusers think their relation can do no wrong. They either ignore or enable them.
But I'll tell you this: if his sister was with a guy who did to her what HE did to YOU, you can bet your life that they would be telling her to show him the door!
She can walk in your shoes before she tells you what to do. I had a SIL
just like that... grrr!
Don't move a muscle on his or their account. It's exactly what giggle says it is - guilting.
Stay strong xx
I'm really sorry this has happened and that his family is using it as an opportunity to guilt you further. Stay strong - you've done nothing wrong.
