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.
At the 7 month mark and really didn't think I would get this far without getting back with him. Thank God the miles are working in my favor. For some reason things are getting so much better for me. Not every day is wonderful but I am making it and working it. Sometimes things looked so black when I first started this journey. I can look back at those times and feel so happy things are turning around. Why, that's a good question: Time, NC and I haven't done it that well, miles, learning about what happened, counseling, DS, friends and family. My list is pretty long. The roller coaster is slowing down.
In reflection, I really think this may be the first time in my life where I am taking things slow, thinking things through, being clear about me and who I am.
Not every day is a bed of roses but most days are better. I hope this may help people know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Not that this is the end, I have I long way to go, but I have come a long way.

That is it. That is my lesson as well. And, while daunting at times, I am finding it...finding me.
I am so, so happy for you my friend!!
Take care of yourself and hold on to that clarity, knowing that yes, it really was that bad. And now that you've made it through the worst, you can make it through anything.
Looking back you do see things clearly and you realize just how bad it was.
you ROCK!
You're on your journey.
Go on doing the work
and taking good care
of yourself. You're a
woman of courage
and strength.
Be well!!!!!!
Hugs and
healing thoughts.
So glad you are feeling better and yes, being away and not subjected to verbal put-downs all the time is a huge part of that. I think it was Mary who said an abuser is like a toxic waste dump. Great analogy.
Congrats on your new life and hope it just keeps getting better! xx
