When we are in the abusive relationship we tend to think about what is going to happen next. Our thoughts are not positive by any means and we are always worried that the abuser is going to explode in the next moment. We do everything we can to keep the abuser from exploding on us or the rest of the family.
When we leave the abusive relationship we need to begin to change the way we think. The abuser is no longer the center of our universe, we are. That is something that at first can be terrifying at times. Yet it is something that we need to learn to do. We need to learn to think of positive things about ourselves. That is important because if we are not thinking positive about ourselves who will?
This is a journal about recovery from domestic abuse. About growing from being a victim to being a survivor to being a thriver and at peace with myself. I am a survivor of abuse in its many forms. I was abused physically, sexually and emotionally. There have been some that have helped me get through the darkness and into the light. Now, I am helping others to also find the light, for more info on battered men and for help forming a support group: theshapechanger1@yahoo.com
