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.
In the past 3 months, I have gone from being:
Unhappy, confused, unemployed, isolated and totally naive
to
A 'cheater' and unhappy, but no longer isolated or confused. Realized that I wanted to end my relationship as I learned it was abusive and not a 'normal' healthy one
to
A free, single woman, with her first job after graduating college! I am reconnected with my friends and family, but - most importantly! - with myself! My confidence is slowly coming back; there are still bad days and nights where I wonder how I will ever trust or love someone again, but for now that is not important. I am finally free to follow my heart and dreams, and I don't need anyone but me to make that happen :)
I hope this inspires anyone experiencing abuse, be it emotional, verbal or physical, to follow their instincts and get to a safer, happier place. You can do it and you deserve it!

It is possible to leave.
Once you realize how good you can feel to be on your own again, you look back and can't imagine why you stayed before
I'm so happy for you! =D
And I hope that things continually get better and better!
