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've been to a survivers group, worked with a wonderful man, who helped each of us recover from our abusers. I can only forgive, because my anger will eat at me untill the day I die. But I can say one thing I know for sure. I fight I struggle and I live. If it wasn't for my father taking me food shopping because I never learned to drive, I would have to food shop at a dollar store. THanks for listening. HEidi
So sorry for what you've been through.
Healing takes time.
If your anger is still eating you, that's an indicator
that there's more processing, yet to be done.
Once it's done, anger decreases and abuse
from the past will cause you less pain.
So ---- please keep working through what happened
until the anger and the pain diminish.
And just for the record, don't feel like you must
rush into forgiveness. Forgiveness is a flower
that opens when the time has arrived for it to open.
Sometimes people feel compelled to forgive, but
if they're still being eaten up by pain and anger,
it may not yet be the time to forgive. If you're
still in pain, try putting the forgiveness on hold.
Revisit it when you're hurting less.
Best thoughts to you. Take good care of yourself.
