Hi, a newbie here!

Hi there people,

I discovered this forum while searching for information on Emotional and Verbal Abuse and the help available to victims of this.

Not long ago I left a very emotionally and verbally abusive relationship that lasted a decade, and while I didn't see what was happening as physical abuse, I have been told by various professionals that it is.

I am left wondering how on earth I got myself into a situation where I allowed this to happen to me - I have always been against any such thing, and it has really rattled me.

I am hoping to join in the conversations on the forum and possibly get some support when its needed, and offer some to others as well.

Everything in my life is a mess at the moment, however I am trying to cope as well as I can.

Regards,

MeltedCandles

Hi, MeltedCandles! Good for you, you got yourself out of an abusive relationship and now you're putting your life back together, that is very brave! Please enjoy the forum, we'll give you support and friendship.

I like your user name, it's announcing a new beginning.

Thankyou Jasmin!

I look forward to joining in with the forums and if nothing else, at least getting stuff straight in my mind again!

Good luck! Let me know if you need anything.
