I've been talking more about things that I didn't think were abusive, but people are telling me that yes, they are. I guess 'normal' isn't 'normal' afterall. I have some learning to do.

I think there's a bit of frog-in-the-pot syndrome. If you saw the things that are happening to you happen to someone else, what would you think of it?

Has anyone found that, over time, the puzzle pieces all start falling together? I used to think I was the crazy one. That I couldn't have been treated *that* poorly.

Talked to my D15's volleyball coach yesterday. He had to force my Ex out of her role as a chaperone on the team because she was making the girls on the team uncomfortable! Yikes!

Yikes! Scary and uncomfortable for your daughter and friends, but vindicating and reassuring for you, I imagine.

Even though I'm still "in", I have more and more experiences like the one you're describing. After a while, their insanity makes itself known to others. And thank goodness for that!

Hey, anybody, my Catbox has tipped over and I can't get it going again. Seems like no matter what I click on, I can't see threads, post, or create new threads. Or even messagess to ask for help? Is it just me?

The irony you can't use the message function either so can't message the admins.
I went to the main Dr. Irene page and have sent an email from the contact Dr. Irene page.
Hopefully someone will see it.

If HE is abusing you, how is it your fault? I did this to myself too. He blamed, I blamed me......It was endless until I finally left him after 2 years of his abuse in a varieties! I have an illness and he could have cared less about that . He wouldn't let me sleep or even eat unless I had his permission. All he wanted to do was fight constantly, I just could NOT do it anymore. I am away from him now for 4 months, its difficult but much more peaceful for me. I hope you get out while y...

Looking for a little prospective at being more supportive in my current relationship with an abused woman. I have been encouraging and working on improving her self image.

I have learned that no better place to be but in a safe warm and clean place. Truthful to ourselves and others. Eventually the things that we have deceived ourselves with and others too, will catch up with us. So get straight...clean up your act, from your heart. We are waiting for you...and miss you too. But only if you are sincere, and we will know, we are trained to know sincerety, even more today.,,,than when you left.
