Guest guest Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 (((((Betty))))) - everyone DOES deserve to be loved and treated with respect. Don't let your age hold you back. Do you have any family or friends that could help you get out of this situation? I've always felt that emotional abuse is the worst form of abuse. Can you seek help from a counselor? You are God's child, dear one. You are worthy. You are loved. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I was once married to a man that destroyed my self-esteem with his mean and hateful words and almost killed me and my unborn baby with his physical abuse. NO ONE deserves to be treated that way! Please seek help!! And keep us posted. We care.....Doreen oh god bless you, elly. you and barbara both. going thru a divorce, moving, it is so hard. if i wasn't 67 yrs. o0ld, and if i was able, i would have left a long time ago. for mostly the same reasons you have. i have a hubby that just doesn't want to hear that i am sick .... i have to be up doing something, or i am sorry and lazy. i have to do for him and his son, along with his two grandchildren. i am so tired and hurt so bad all the time, i just find me a corner and cry. theres nothing else i can do. when you said that everyone deserved to be loved, it really broke my heart... heres wishing you love, and hugs.....

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 EVERYONE deserves to be treated with respect and dignity! If you are not being treated this way, STAND UP (figuratively, speaking!) and DEMAND it! If you're still being mistreated, then GET OUT of the abusive situation, because that's what it is!! Trust me, I've been there, and it isn't any way to live! Living with an abusive person can really destroy your self-esteem and you can completely lose yourself under the control of the abuser. With our RA/Fibro, etc, when we hurt and our joint are inflammed, we do NEED help from our families, not to be called lazy if we can't wait on them hand and foot!! I'm living proof of what can happen if we don't put our health needs first and martyr ourselves. I have seriously screwed up hands and feet. I'm finally free from my abuser, though, and I am a whole new person now, emotionally! Find a friend, sibling, or even one of your kids to seek help from, then seek legal assistance if necessary. We are here to help in any way we can!! Just my words of exerience here. Elly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
