Hi Trish,
Thanks so much for joining. Since my wife had passed away, I have not
done much with the group and you will probably find some spam on the
messages. I apologize for that. I am trying to get back with this
group so I can help people cope with this.
I can tell you that it is going to be a difficult battle for you.
Sometimes (t)he(y) will say things that will hurt you but you can't
take it personally. The best thing he can do is journal and work with
clay. Journaling is the best thing and with the clay, they can shape
their abusers and then destroy the clay figure. I don't know what the
situation was that caused this for him, but one of the best books I
have ever read is called "More Than One" by Dr. Terri Clark. It is
out of print but you might find it in the libraty or online.
I will be periodically checking the messages, so if you need any
advice, I will do whatever I can to help you.
Hang in there,
Mark
