Meg1129 |
Hi, my name is Meg! When I was 19, I married an abusive alcoholic who was 10 years older than me and already divorced. We were married nearly 10 years and in that time, I spent countless hours/years in Al-Anon meetings, substance abuse support groups and private therapy. Finally, we divorced. I later remarried and now have three wonderful children who are growing up WAY too fast! My hobbies are hiking, gourmet cooking, horseback riding and reading trashy novels. | |

Schefflera |
Hello, I'm Schefflera and I am recovering from a lifetime of emotional abuse. My parents were already planning a divorce before I was even born which set the stage for plenty of resentment in my life. Of course as a child I never quite understood why I was treated so differently than my siblings... only that somehow I was not worthy of respect like everyone else. Family always felt more like an obligation than a blessing to me. I always felt out of place, guilty, and lonely in my family; I couldn't figure out what was so "wrong" with me until I discovered the concept of Emotional Abuse. It's no wonder I fell into abusive romantic relationships later on in life! My self-esteem had already been obliterated by my own family and each day I am a step closer to repairing that damage.
Thankfully I am now married to a wonderful supportive man who is with me every step of the way on that road to recovery. In my free time I like to knit and play with my two beloved shelter mutts. |
