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 Im new here and would love some advice if there is anyone else out there who is or has gone through this. I was abused in all ways as a chld starting about 9. Then of course met my controlling abusive husband at 14 and been with him ever since. We have three children together. I left him a year and a half ago and I've been lost ever since.
We always sit and think the abused should just get up and leave dont we? We wonder why they take it for so long dont we?
Well Im 33 now and I have a new home and have my kids. No one to yell at me, cuss at me, scare the hell out me anymore. No more living in fear of making the wrong choices and the consequences that go with. Im allowed to have friends now and a life. So what's the problem right?
Im scared. How do I know when Im messing up if no one yells at me. If Im not being bossed around what choices do I make. My whole life has been controlled. I always thought I would break free one day and it would all magically be better. HELP.. As sick as it is my comfort zone is gone. I only know how function day to day in an abusive environment. I dont know how to do this. I've even had thoughts of going back to him. I guess its kind of like those in prison who never adjust to life on the outside. Thats what it feels like... Anyone have any good advice??? Or been there???

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

Small feat, but I think you take it step by step and rebuild that faith in yourself.
