Emotional Abuse Support Group

I am new here. So, I wanted to introduce myself and share a little about me. I have been a widow for six years now. It was sudden/unexpected. We have four children: girl, 22; boy, 19; boy, 17; and girl, 14. They keep me going. I recently ended a two year relationship with a man who emotionally abused me.

I know I did the right thing by breaking up with him! But, I feel no one understands my pain. Losing my boyfriend has sent me back into grief (not only for the loss of the relationship but also for my late husband!) I have nowhere to turn. So, I'm hoping for some support and understanding here.

Thanks for listening!

Hi trying2Bhappy and welcome to the group. You are not alone here. We are all here to help in anyway we can.

Thank you sisters4life! It feels good to be welcomed here! I really appreciate your post. I haven't spent much time here yet but I plan to learn more soon.

Welcome to the group! As Suzanne said, you are never alone here.

Niki C., Thank you! It's nice to know I'm not alone; especially when I'm feeling so alone in my life right now.

I'm certain you did the right thing! It is hard to be without anyone at all, but I've learned that sometimes, being with the wrong person is worse than being alone. Hang in there!

Thank you rangiku. I know you're right about being alone. I agree being with the wrong person is worse. But on nights like tonight (Friday night and all my kids are out), I really wish I had someone to share the time with. But, I must remind myself, he was the WRONG one!

trying2bhappy, if you have a good friend call them when you are lonely, come online and talk to others on here, read a book, do anything you can to occupy your mind. I know it's easier said than done.
