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'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
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.
