This is fantastic advice. It is not easy to leave an abusive relationship and it takes time to build up your strength and courage, especially when you have been in a long term abusive relationship that has broken you down. It is also so important to work through what you have been through. I didn’t do that and went from one abusive relationship to the next unable to break the cycle. When I went into treatment for alcohol and drug addiction the counsellors got me to take a good look at my relationships too and it was such a life saver.
I am so sorry you have had these challenges and bumps, Lynne. But, I am glad you found help and hope! Thank you for sharing that with us. Abuse is definitely challenging, no matter what type, when, or how we respond to it in a not-so-positive way, in order to sort of silence or solve it. Sadly, sometimes the remnants stick with us. But, we are there for each other, eh? Be well, Lynne. Wishing you the continued best.
*I apologize for the extreme delay in responding. We were working on some server updates as well as an ongoing health issue, but that is no excuse for the unforgivable delay. Thank you for your patience. (This message is posted on multiple replies.)
