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 don't even know what I feel right now. I feel emotionally dead and drained. Empty.
I just feel tired. Tired of standing strong. Tired of enduring.
I haven't gotten the apology she said she owed me. She had a conversation with the folks at the hotline. She asked me if she has been abusive at all this week. When I responded yes, and told her how, she spun it back around on me, and followed it up with accusations. Then said she was sorry - that was unfair of her, and she honestly didn't want to fight.
Right now she's accusing me of ignoring her because I didn't respond to her texts. I offered her better ways to phrase it, and she hasn't responded at all yet - it's been half an hour now.
I'm just tired. I can see what's happening, even see glimmers that she's getting it. But it's like trying to teach a child particle physics. I'm healing, but I'm splitting my time and focus on healing myself and on helping her learn to stop wounding me - and she doesn't think much of the class or the teacher.
I haven't responded to anyone today - these are actually some of the first words I've spoken today. I'm tired.

Sending strength and encouragement!!! =)
Sending energy your way!
Nurture yourself.
Nourish yourself.
Allow yourself time
to re-energize.
A word of caution:
Attempting to "teach"
an abuser to stop wounding you
may be less plausible than
trying to teach a child particle physics.
It may be more like trying
to wean a vampire off
blood, in favor of, well,
in favor of anything else.
In regards to the vampire. . . .
aint gonna happen.
In regards to an abuser?
Haven't seen many
successful weanings.
Please be careful
how much blood-letting
you offer. Utimately, you
may end up with nothing
left.
Please take good care.
