This is a wonderful and safe place to talk about abuse. I've had my fare share of abuse. I was raped 20ish years ago. I am just now starting to deal w/ that. There was also some neglect issues as a child and as a wife now. I live with emotional abuse almost daily. It hurts me to say that and to thank about not leaving. Until I get this strightened out I'll certinly be a frequent visitor to PC. I have a feeling even after if ever I overcome these things I'll still be visiting here. I have made friends and feel like the folks here care which is not something I am used to but am learning to imbrace.
