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 my names Kate i'm only 18 but i was in an abusive realtionship for over a year, I never even realised i was being abused to start with. He started out a lovely sweet guy but slowly he changed, by this time it was too late...I had fallen for him. I'd make excuses for him, laughing it off covinveing myself over and over it was only a joke. Even standing up to his best friend on occasion and saying i didn't think he treated me like s***.
I used to come home from my boyfriends covered in bruises, it was agnoy just riding the bus home. The bruises got so bad i was taken to hospital to be tested for cancer at once stage. I was terrified i was going to die but i never told anyone about the abuise.
He also used to give me alot of verbal abuse he played on my insercuities calling my fat and ugly at first I just laughed it off but over time the insercuities I already had grew and i ended up with an eatting disorder.
He also took away my confidence, I was convinced I needed him. We eventually broke up, he never he loved me in the first place, he was in love with his best friend who he treated like a princess. He still plays sick games with me but i'm here because I never want to go back to that and I guess I need your help to stay strong.

I'm an old lady (49)..and I've got kids a bit older than you. But I'll give you all the support I can, since I've been where you are.
Counseling is an excellent suggestion, and I harp it to death myself. But there is something to it...the self discovery..the realizing that there are things about you that you can work on, to make yourself stronger.
Stick around...we'll take care of you...*wink*
