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.
This is a song my sister posted for me on Facebook tonight - never heard it before but thought of all of you

My ex has manipulated my kids into not wanting to see me (PAS at its most intense) so I know longer have contact with them. They are obviously clinging to their reality - money, education and material things.
My therapist finally gave me permission to go forward.... that with an abuser like that, I am lucky to have found the strength to get out and that any relationship with my kids would be like a life sentence of continuing abuse.
The guilt of not having my kids in my life, and the ongoing revisitation of the extreme trauma of living like a prisoner for the first 6 months of this year - to me, are the two things I need help getting past. I keep having nightmares where either my ex or my children kill me. Sleep does not always come easy.
With so many things to be thankful for, there are so many things to recover from - but a second chance, is the very first and most important thing to hold dear right now!!
