Marilyn, You know as well as I do that we do that to avoid the abuse. Apparently we're not strong enough to disobey them. It's very sad when you look at it...

Hi, Would the person who tried to IM me this morning on yahoo please do so again? I wasn't trying to avoid you, my computer locked up and shut down and when I...
My husband goes through phases of behaving abusively. If he was abusive all the time I would have left long ago, although I suppose this is a great way to...
Jessika, "they" are right. Drinking is going to mess up your brain chemistry which will keep the meds from working properly. They don't do much for you anyway,...

I just got back...the doctor did put me back on the medicine I was on before. He said I should start to feel a little better in 1-3 weeks but if not to go back...
I'm hoping that it helps. You know, it would have been okay to cry when you were talking to him. No matter what our abusers have told us, crying is NOT a bad...
I was embarassed. My husband just said stuff to me like your tears mean nothing to me...don't think I feel bad for you b/c I don't. I never cried for attention...
