Oh, am I glad to see this folder!! Finally, it seems that the abuse is getting a front and center stage.



Thank you for adding it.

This is a fabulous folder. I know that your notes about caution should be heeded by all who are a victim of abuse. Never use people's names in your posts. Also, I would suggest if you are a victim, to set up another screen name and PM Cheryl from that name for access. If the abuser snoops your pc and sees that you've requested accessfrom your usual name, that could pose problems.


I was a victim of abuse, physical, mental, verbal. So was my mother. It's a very wicked web the abuser weaves and lots of women never seeing it coming until it's too late. By that time your self-esteem has been so slowly chipped away.


I'd like to be given access to the folder, perhaps I can lend a "shoulder" to someone.

Cheryl,


I have never been in this situation personally but know many women who have. I would love to help someone or just listen.


Thanks

Cheryl,


When I was young I was in an abusive relationship, with 2 daughters. I got some great support and now 7 years later, I am married to a wonderful man, have 4 daughters now, a college degree,and I am a successful BeautiControl consultant.


So, I would be more than happy to help anyone who needs some advice.


My life is a comlete 180 now, and it is possible with a great support.

This is by far the best site! I've been reluctant to say it! My sister was murdered by a nut case and it was a very high profile case here in Las vegas. I state this to satisfy curiosity. I am not a counseler-with this said, I do have ears and can be very understanding AND for any of you who are engaged in this type of relation please talk to somebody. Sometimes it helps to talk to a stranger. Sisterhood is a very strong protective bond.

Today is the longtime anniversary of the last time any man hit me.. split my head open actually. All those years long gone..and yet I feel a need for a kind ear and shoulder today.. the fear NEVER leaves.. my abuser is now dead.. but the fear never leaves.. the hurt never leaves.. that is why I came seeking this out.. you would think I would be OFFERING help ..rather than seeking it after all these years...and it amazes me that even in this so called enlightened age.. women are still very cruel to those of us who have been victimized.

I'm sorry to you too have suffered. Don't apologize for not offering help. It takes alot of guts for people to open up about past problems. your help to others is acknowleging you had suffred abuse. It must be a very emotional day for you. It is awful what a human can do to another. I see you like gardening though and I have to tell you I love it too! I am growing tomatoe seeds in my den now ALREADY! Just for a laugh Ill tell you something and I might be laughing all by my self - My neighbor who does nothing but gardening I mean this woman has a supermarket in her back yard (she is very mean an hates everyone) I bought some super steroid coated genect altered seeds just sowhen I plant them it'll drive her crazy wanting to know wich store I got the plants from...! when she asks where I got the "plants" (oh and she will ask) I am gonna send her to some gardening place (may be across town) hee hee now I know this seems like all of work however this woman see's and tells everything! She is a very good gardner I'll give her that, time to knock her down a notch..lol take care jolly.
