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 was emotionally abused last year by a very disturbing and bad man... I went through a lot of emotions after I got out of that situation.. Guilt, shame, anger.. etc... It was so bad that i had panic attacks when someone would bring him up.. I deleted all emails, chat logs and photographs of him, Deleted his number.. Made sure there was no way he could contact me or I could contact him in a weak moment... But after a while it started to get better, when i finally faced it.. I could think about him without panicking .. I could think about what he did and hate him for it, But i had no panic reaction..
Lately i've been looking into emotional abuse resources because of the realization I was in an abusive friendship and it brought back some memories of J (The bad man) ... I thought I was over that part but now thinking of him makes me feel unsafe, unsure and.. just plain weird.. How come those feelings went away for so long and they are back again? And how do I work through this?

I would personally suggest that you keep going, accept the feelings as they come up, examine them, and they will slowly fade for good. I also can't speak highly enough of finding a good therapist/counsellor to help you process the emotions and thoughts as they come up.
