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.
An excerpt from The Butterfly Effect by Andy Andrews
( I recieved this in my email and wanted to share hoping it may give some encouragement)
There are generations yet unborn whose very lives will be shifted and shaped by the moves you make and the actions you take today. And tomorrow. And the next day. And the next.
Every single thing you do matters.
You have been created as one of a kind.
On the planet Earth, there has never been one like you ...and there will never be again.
Your spirit, your thoughts and feelings, your ability to reason and act all exist in no one else.
The rarities that make you special are no mere accident or quirk of fate.
You have been created in order that you might make a difference. You have within you the power to change the world.
Know that your actions cannot be hoarded, saved for later, or used selectively.
By your hand, millionsbillionsof lives will be altered, caught up in a chain of events begun by you this day.
The very beating of your heart has meaning and purpose.
Your actions have value far greater than silver or gold.
Your life...
And what you do with it today ...matters forever.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
I love looking at t he world this way..... :)
It is funny though, how these people think alike. This last one same way. I had emailed with him for months before even agreeing to a date, public and with friends of course. In the emails, he asked what I was up to. As I am very honest, I said, "Debating life."
He said, " I don't care for the sound of that, too heavy. " You need to chill out."
Don't worry about life. It don't worry about you."
( I should of took his words too heart. A lot of them. )
This man had an EMT degree, was in college and still is trying for a teaching degree, quit on it to pursue investments, went back and is back to it. Planning to quit again now, money and addictions are more important to him, as he said, he can't smoke recreationally and teach. I find that sad. :( Even as hateful as he has been to me, that he would give up what was once his dream because he can't make the money he craves and give up his addictions. :(
