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.

thank you to all in this group that share so openly and whether thru individual experience or posting educational posts have allowed me to learn so much - i have always been very internally aware and open to learning - i believe we all have something to teach others and we all have something that we can from learn from others if we are open and honest with our selves - i have always believed that learning is a life long experience and that i can learn something new every day - and at times with my past relationship i believed these qualities i prize in myself and others had been taken from me - as i regain my balance and self esteem i realize i have learned so much from everyone here and hope some of my experiences have at least aided one person along the way - this learning process and healing journey i have been on while a member of this group has been a life changing experience for me - i am happy to say that i will no longer allow such secrets to rule my life - i have been asked to present at one conference and have been invited to submit an abstract for another conference - i could not have even considered such a task 6 mos ago - thank you all for helping me learn and more importantly letting be me and being open to learn - to trust myself again and find peace in my strengths that my ex tried to rob from me - i now know that no one can steal such wonderful traits from me no matter what and with all your help I am moving forward and not ashamed of myself but proud of who i am and how i survived to remain me and go foward with my stories . with thanks to all and may we all keep learning together jd :-)

Hugs to you for your success.
Its a huge comfort to others, who might have just left an abusive relationship, and who might be feeling hopeless, and afraid that they will feel damaged and bad, forever, as it can seem, and was how I felt, just after I got away..
Time and awareness, and others helping us, and new insights, and helpful and enlightening information and support, and understanding,..all goe towards our daily healing, and all we discover does really go towards our healing and recovery...along the way..and renewed hopes DO grow and thank God, also a renewed and better sense of self...and a sense that we are going to do well again, and enjoy a new and better life..
It is a journey, and a process..and its well worth it, to get free for good, from an abusive relationship.
Heres to you keeping going from strength to strength...I'm so glad for you...
You deserve all good in your life..
happy valentines day everyone jd :-)
