Day 3 and 4- the journey
Day 2- the journey
Thanks to the CL - my revelations
Around the end of Feb or mid-March I finally went to the Relationships chat and PM'd one of the facilitators that I needed help getting out of an abusive situation. Fortunately, she paid attention and gave me some resources to follow up on. Unfortunately, it was the first time someone here realized how grave my situation was and was then amenable to helping me bootstrap myself in a meaningful way.
Public apology
I must apologize for the last post that was made. I am sorry for anybody that was offended. To justify things, all of you who said Jeff wrote it you were right. He is just wanting to argue with everybody, sometimes it is best to ignore him. He did not mean any real harm, do not take him seriously. He had a right to express his opinion, I respected that right by letting him give his two-cents worth. I hope everybody accepts my apology.

Do the abusers ever recover?
new and....
Hi all I'm new here, been posting on the abuse board in parentsoup, but am really pleased I found you all. Will do the whole my story thing at a later stage but I found this song and it really helped me alot. It made me realise that while my situation had some unique qualities, it boiled down to the same thing, so all those people who were telling me to leave, and who I thought just didn't understand "my situation" actually did.

My Journey (a bit long winded)
I am sharing the first days from my journal after my beating. Writing is how I am dealing with all of this. Hope it helps someone!
