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.
I am new reading here and need help.
I'm not sure where to turn. I have been here before and found some friends. My wife is abusing me horribly. In the past it has been physical, emotional and verbal. It had gotten better in the last two years. I suffered a serious brain injury 2 1/2 years ago and almost died. I have since somewhat recovered but am still very sick. I get very horrible headaches and loss of feeling and pain in my legs. For this I have to take painkilling medication. I have made it back to work full time. Every day I get out of bed is an accomplishment.
My wife is sometimes supportive and sometimes abusive. They changed the manufacturer of my medication last week. Nothing new, jus new maker. My wife is aware and says this new medication makes me crazy. I havent changed. What prompted her anger you ask? Last nite I got sick of paying $200 for cable and found another company for $85. I had a little more energy than normal. So she thinks I'm crazy becasue I saved money on cable. I swaer on my life.And I kept washing my eyes becasue this new medication dries them out. So she said I am just like her mother and she wants a divorce. her mother was a drug addict and was in and out of mental hospitals. I work full time while partially disabled and have a great life. I am happy. I like myself. She is making me out to be her mother.
This has gone one for a week. I asked her to leave last Friday for a few days and then she apologized. Huge fight again last nite. Asked her to leave. She has a sister. I have no one. I dont have any extra money for a hotel right now. I am so angry. I am of course not going to kill her but the thought of killing myself always crosses my mind. It has for 49 years.
I feel as if I have no option. She wont leave. There is nothing wrong with me. Yet I woke up this morning and felt like if I was alone that would be awful also. I just cant take it any more. I have to get this out amd talk to somebody or I will lose my mind. Ive called the shelter before and they only offer services to women. Nice. I just need $300 for a hotel but have no idea how to get it. Somebody please help. I just need to talk or someone to listen to me.
