Abuse

After spending time with an abuser, we sometimes begin to believe that we deserve to be unhappy or to be abused. We may deny our misery, telling ourselves that we truly love our partner when what we feel is more in the nature of addiction to a drug.

Admitting that a situation has become intolerable is a difficult step because of the fear and very real danger involved. But the realization that you do have a choice can bring a great release of energy.

Domestic violence centers exist in almost every town. Most times your call can be anonymous. The counselors can help you and your children move into a safe place.

If this is what you have been suffering then take action now.
