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.
I've posted a lot of sad, scared, anxious & worried discussions to this board. You are all so kind and caring in response. I thank you so much!
Youve helped me more than anything. This morning, today I'm feeling good and it is so nice. So I want to share it with you and ask what is good in your life now?
My something good:
This morning the sun is shining and I am free to do whatever I want. I went to yard sales & got treasures that I like & that I will put in the home I find for myself. My mind is more at ease than at any time in the past 2 years. I still have huge problems & so much to figure out. But I've gotten something back today. I want to keep it!

Beingshannon, congratulations for not contacting your abuser. That is very strong of you. No meanness feels so good! You have come a long way.
I'm still feeling good & its been like 6 hours! Wow!
I did something new for the first time today. The idea of doing it terrified me. I did it any way and I did it in front of my professional peers. I sure didn't do it perfectly, but I did ok. (That's something for me since I tend to be a perfectionist, even the first time out, lol)
I did it in spite of the fear. And I didn't die or fall apart. :-)
I'm so grateful that I took a chance. And I'm grateful for the support of my peers.
getting physically
stronger, doing
increasing reps
of modified
push-ups, so
I can do regulation
push-ups again,
as I did regularly
decades ago.
I'm in my sixties now
but that doesn't mean
I have to become weak
and frail. I intend to
stay strong and vital,
both physically and
cognitively.
Yesterday, I did
five regulation
push-ups.
I'm on my way!
I want to hear more! Tell me something good!!
Ladies and gents, there is SO much more you can do in life than your abusers would ever allow you to think could, the sky is the limit!
No "spring" here yet (WI), but we were treated to a balmy 6 deg. above zero, and with the sun shining, the day was pretty even with the chill.
My "good" is in getting to sit and watch the birds in my yard eat the seeds and peanuts i put out for them without being yelled at as to the price of seed and peanuts, or being called names for sitting and watching them. In getting to eat what i choose, when i choose. In taking a nap when i choose. In wearing what i choose.
& yes, in enjoying my home with "no meanness allowed".
Great thread! TY for "good times"! May we all have many of 'em! :)

My something good:
So many negatives are out of my life. I'm working on my positives, feeling peace in my home. Imagine that, home is where the peace is to be!!! Quiet, calm, peace. Happy.
This road we're on is so up & down.
Something good:
I'm not with him. I don't have to hear any more BS tonight. I have a good book to read.
