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.
It's nice to hear that your boyfriend and his family are so understanding as well. I am sure that must mean a lot to you as you process and start to heal. I am glad that you have found love and acceptance - two such vital things that every one of us deserves.
Bless you and hugs xx
