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.

So I finally broke down and went to an attorney with a friend. The attorney told me I needed to get domestic violence counseling!!!! I've never been hit, but she said the cycle is the same and it's escalating. I've been able to rationalize, excuse, explain, and blame myself for his every behavior. But sitting in that lawyer's office having this level-headed professional lady telling me that my emotional abuse is on the verge of domestic violence just from the three or four situations I told her about made the reality of my situation come crashing down. Wow. A perfect stranger told me what my friends have been telling me for years. Why does it make such a huge impact coming from someone I don't know?
I'm curious. What was the 'crashing point' in your relationship - when the reality of what was happening to you made it all 'real'? You know, it's like in Jerry Macguire - something wasn't real until he told her about it?

Also, after I filed a restraining order, a cop told me "I don't know you, but I do know if you were in my life, you would be treated like a queen."
