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.
Ok, I am gonna be leaning a lot over the next few weeks and want to apologize ahead of time. I have set the date for our divorce mediation for next Monday. I will continue to pray and try to stay stong. I am getting scared because I do not want to panic. I know this is what is right for me. I want to live an abuse free life.
I will likely be a broken record and just asking for everyone's patience and re-assurance.
Thank you in advance for being the wonderful group you have been to me since I joined and everyone else!

I know how scary it can be. What has helped me is to realize is that in most cases, the anticipation is worse than the actual event. So I now practice deep breathing, along with saying the following affirmation as many times as I need to. "At this very moment, I am perfectly safe."
Sending lots of hugs of support....
I'm really impressed right now. And to be honest, jealous! It's been a slow awakening for me, and way too difficult reality. I'm excited this is moving quickly for you!!! Freedom is near!
I am really trying to do things while my head is clear and to be honest, I don't want anymore blame on me by my husband about how inconvenient this is for him because of interest rates, homes available, etc.
You are all amazing!!!
You can do it!
Also remember what MTC said - the anticipation is often way worse than the actual event. You are so worried about panicking that you may end up working yourself up to that very thing - self fulfilling prophesy.
Know that you have done all you could, know that you have not made this decision lightly and keep in mind the reasons for it. And take good care of yourself.
