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.
After hours searching for some sort of a sanctuary I found this site. I have never joined a site like this and am very hopeful to find some strength or maybe even provide some. I am in a terribly toxic relationship. I'm addicted to the insecurity of it all yet crave true companionship and a healthy relationship. Maybe I can connect with others here that get it. I have hidden my situation from family and even my therapist. I have no friends left because of this.
circumstances that
have brought you
here but glad you've
joined this supportive
community. We "get it"
here.
Please reconsider keeping
your situation from your
therapist. That's like seeing
your (physical) family doctor
for a cold and not telling him
or her that, oh by the way,
you've been coughing up blood.
There are serious dangers
inherent in "a terribly toxic"
relationship.
Normally I'd urge you to
find and begin working
with a qualified therapist
but since you're already
working with a therapist,
I have to say "GREAT!" . . .
as long as you're working
in your sessions in a way
that will enable the therapy
to be useful to you.
Sending you hugs and
wishes for healing and
better days ahead.
