You Are Not Alone Everyday, millions of Americans wake up to an abusive situation in their lives, and millions more are in the process of recovery from one. Abuse has become an almost commonplace occurrence in modern times, whether it is in the form of domestic violence, child abuse, emotional abuse, or some other form of trauma. We tend to want to blame ourselves for our problems, especially when we feel there is no other clear answer. I deserve it. I'm ugly, that's why he ignores me.
Nobody deserves to be physically, emotionally, or spiritually abused as a child or as an adult.
It is the direct result of another person being unable to effectively control or cope with their own anger and life. It is their problem, and one they then put on to you or someone you love. Abuse is not hidden in the closet any longer. We know more about abuse, what causes it, and how to recover from it than we ever did in the past. Today, there is hope, help, and treatment for problems related to abuse you or someone you know has suffered.
