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.
When I've told him I'm hurt, it turned into fights, it angered him. It's so abusive. I have to remember I cannot appeal to any sense of empathy in my abuser (calling him abuser is new for me). It made it hard to feel comfortable expressing myself honestly. It didn't start out that way, subtle changes over time turned from someone caring into cold. My feelings are real and they are not to big to have to act like they are a burden or are inappropriate, they are to be FELT and dealt with, and I NEED to accept he can't help me with that, as much as he may have used to, it is different now. He is different, we are different and I am different.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I learned that him with-holding his love and affection is ALSO abuse.
Your feelings- WILL always be valid. Sometimes we just have to find VALID people to share them with, and ourselves.
Hang in there.
I was lucky he was the one to leave. If you do want to make the decisiont to leave. You will need to leave emotionally as well as physically. Leaving is very difficult but will help you heal.
