Abuse, whether it be, emotional, mental or physica

Tonight I had sometime to write something that I wanted to share on my other blog. It was so hard to write and did bring about memories I wish I could forget. However it was reflective and freeing to get it out there.

Abuse, whether it be, emotional, mental or physical is a serious issue and many try to deny that they are being abused. It is hard to face this truth and make the tough decision to leave. To be alone and lose everything. Then again isn’t losing everything better then losing your life?

Please read this entry from my Living With Hope blog. livingwithhope.net/blog/

Even if you aren’t in an abusive relationship, you may know of someone who has. This is a serious issue and I am open and honest with my experience. My one hope is that I can help even one person. Whether they get help or find that hope they lost from suffering from the abuse, I hope that by opening myself up, they will find strength and hope to leave each day.

Hello dear–random noter here. I read your entry at the livingwithhope site. My sister went through a similar marriage–it was horrible. I am so glad you are out of it, and have a fine (and handsome!) husband and a beautiful, happy boy! I have added you to my favorites list, and would love to be on yours if that is acceptable. 🙂 May your days be blessed with love and serenity. 🙂

Unfortunately, on the other end of the spectrum, when it comes to emotional/mental/psychological abuse, the abuser doesn’t always realizing that what they are doing is in fact abuse.

I was in an emotionally abuse marriage for years. I think the biggest issue I had was denial, and I think it’s because it wasn’t physical. Had he hit me, I think I would have felt differently.

I think i’ve never been in an abusive relationship, but i know many ppl who have. It’s weird how common the situation is, and i’ve seen how hard it is for ppl to admit they need to help themselves. I’m glad u were able to change ur life and transform all that pain into something more positive 🙂 I liked something you typed in ur entry: you said that at some point in ur life u were getting on god’s

*continues* on god’s way and not letting him send the great things he had prepared for you. I really believe that’s one of the best reflections upon all that you went thru, and its meaning has told me a lot, even if my situation has been different…but i do believe i also didn’t at some point let God touch me and Im glad i, as u, was able to open my eyes too. As u said, Never lose hope…again 🙂
