It's very hard for me to understand that someone can hurt another person by purpose and to even go farther with this to admit that yes it was by purpose. It's also very hard for me to accept this and then make believe that nothing has happened.

The hurt inside me is very alive. I just can't pretend that nothing did happened. I just can't.

IMO you should not have to pretend/make believe....I would be so mad and sad and maybe even confused..Sorry for your pain....and that people can be mean I can't

Please, you shouldn't pretend that nothing happened... acknowledging pain can give one a sort of-- value.

I used to think that pretending it didn't hurt would make it better--- but it just denied my very being.

I believe it's a very good sign that you "can't " pretend that nothing happened-- IMO- it shows you are valuing yourself-- that's a great step!

Nightdream-- you are such a very kind, caring and wonderful soul-- I'm glad you are putting a voice to your feelings! We're here --- please keep posting!!

Thank you for your understanding, kindness, caring!

May I ask what happen when we are at a women shelter? What is it like?

Thank you!

I've been a weekly volunteer at a women's shelter for 9 months. I can PM you with some ideas of what it might be like- although they differ from program to program and state to state.

*** hugs *** to you Nightdream

I agree, don't even try to pretend it didn't happen! That's part of the lie of the abuser... making you think on one hand nothing happened, and on the other hand you deserved it. All lies.

I hope 2b can help you,

a safe place... full of support and caring and counsel. The ones I know of, you have your own room for you and your children, (or you might share if it's just you) and basics are provided. toiletries, bathing facilities, meals... the actual addresses are not public so the abusive ppl cannot track you down. Police DO know the addresses. Support services for job, clothes, finding a place to live, new schools, physical (medical) treatment and ongoing counseling are also available either through the safehouse or their contacts/agencies they work with.
