Hi Group,
I would like to introduce myself. I am new (1st day) and I am glad I
found you. There are not too many resources out there for spouses of
survivors of abuse.
I have been living with my wife for 6 1/2 years and we have been
married for 2. We have 2 small children.
I suspected that my wife was the victim of childhood sexual abuse for
quite some time, but she finally "told" me. "Told" is in quotes
becuase she claimed it could have been an accident. She said her
father sexually molested her. (that was no accident).
She is a very angry woman, often taking her anger out on the children
and me.
Question for the group: Does anyone know if there is a support group
for partners of people who were sexually abused as children? Kind of
like AL-ANON.
Thanks,
Phil
