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.
Wow how eye opening and oddly therapeutic. Two years ago I joined this site. Two years ago I was already living in hell for quite some time. Took me two years to get to the point that I feel ok about letting go. Two years wasted but a lesson learned. Going on 72 hrs now no contact except for the little run in coming out of the store. Obviously its hard but reading how awful I have felt for so long makes me want to stick to it. Weekends are hard for me...but I have a support system in place now. This site and the wonderful people on it...who are so wise and so patient and know exactly how hard it is to get to this point have made such a difference.
Please keep in mind that healing is not linear It's more like a zig zag and sometimes we even go backwards for awhile. Don't worry if that happens.
Just keep on keepin' on.
You're doing great.
Good for you!
