I Am a Victim of Emotional Abuse

Some of you say I’m doing this for attention well, I’m not. You guys don’t need to cast judgement on me. You have no idea how much it takes just for me to say it on here. I’m afraid that one day she will find these and hurt me more than she needs to. I can’t drive away. Why? Because the only one who is willing to do it mistreats me so bad. She says why, so you can so you can be disappointed by life? So you can complain to someone? No one cares what you have to say anymore they’re done hearing it. I do self harm because I take what she says to heart. I know I shouldn’t but I do. I have low self esteem and I don’t know how to talk to anyone. So hoping if I write these down I can just show someone instead of stuttering my sentences and making them be impatient by my speaking abilities.

I've been away for a bit, had to take a break and really don't know if I'm back yet. All I can say is this...as for those that say those things, like you do it for attention? To Hell with them...they are only saying that for the attention THEY will get and the rise they'll cause in you. Some do it because (and this is only my own personal observations of those that do it around me) their lives are so pathetic that the only way they can feel better about themselves is to make others feel terrible.

This is supposed to be a place you can come and share and vent, block those that don't support you and keep those around that do and understand. I just hope you keep writing, sharing, venting, whatever it is you want to call it and keep those around that will be there for you. Just hang in there. As for the emotional abuse and abuser? I'm sure you've heard it all before, but you don't deserve that. NO ONE DOES! I'm sure it's hard to get away or share, I'm sure the fear is tangible, but again, words are just those, they are just words and they can only hurt as much as we allow them. Sure, that's easy to say and hard to follow, even for me, but it's really true. No one knows you better than yourself and anything they say is only their opinion, even if it feels like truth.

I wish I had some words of wisdom to help you through. I can only say that getting away from the abuse and abuser(s) is the only way to start on a path to something better in your life. We've crossed paths ourselves in the past here and you've always been a wonderful person to me and the others I've seen you interact with. Taking care of yourself, physically, mentally and emotionally is the most important thing. Please do that.
