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.
Hi...I just joined this group. I'm a survivor of domestic violence from a former relationship that I was in from age 17-22. I had enough one day and left...no contact since with my abusive ex. By that time I hated him anyway...the love was gone and I no longer cared what happened to him. Still don't, if I'm being honest. I'm not a person who hates as a rule but for him that's all I feel.
I've done well in the decade since...I am now married someone good who would never put his hands on me. But I still have issues...nightmares and stuff.
Anyway this part of my past isn't something I discuss easily with others, so I'm here hoping to talk and give support.

Welcome 3000. Is that how many miles you feel you've come in your life? The people here are comforting, supportive, understanding, and non-critical, unless you need a swift kick in the pants! :)

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
