I have been abused by my x for years. I was always told how useless I was from my father and mother. Since as far as i can remember i was an outcast and the only attention I got was verbal and physical abuse.
I learned that the abuse is the love. So in order for me to feel loved I had allowed myself to be abused by many men in my life.
I know I can not tell you to just leave your abusive situation. I know those words a meaningless because you already know that you must leave.
I know the fear and pain that comes with trying to chose where to go and if I will ever be safe and what will my kids and I do for food and shelter.
As an abused person I know you also know that there are many places for abused women to go so I will not belittle you and tell you what everyone else tells you.
So what I say to you is that I have been there and understand. I was fortunate enough to pull my stuff together and just leave. It was not easy and it was scary as scary can get. I discovered that once i was free I started to seek out the abusive relationships again. I know I know, what a dummy.
After meeting other abused women and joining a support group I realized I was not alone in the way I felt about my self. I learned that I do NOT have to own the bad names and the feelings of uselessness as being who I am.
I am free now and you can be too when you are ready. I hope you can find peace for you and your children.
Here are a few places i recommend.
1. HAWC Here you can find many resources National Domestic Violence Hotline
2.  Nation Domestic Violence Hoteline - Here is their Number 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or TTY 1-800-787-3224.
Love you all, Alexandria
