I'm feeling powerless today. Had a few new memories crop up and instead of being the person who was always the culprit, it's a new person. I wasn't surprised about this new person, but I still feel shaken up and extremely sensitive. My therapist is on vacation, so I decided I would talk to my husband... When I told him he didn't say anything. He got pissed off and got up and walked away. Leaving me to feel ashamed and hurt even more. :( I talked to him the next day and he said he was pissed. I asked about what? He said he isn't sure if he is just pissed that it happened to me or at me... How should I take that? grrr.
So anyway, feeling extremely powerless and ashamed. :(
It is a very sensitive subject. Sometimes, we expect the person who is close to us to understand and be compassionate, not always is the case. For some people this information is very overwhelming and they do not know how to react. Do not get upset or discourage, and do not blame yourself, just say a prayer. Wishing you all the best and God bless you always.
OH Penguin, I'm so sorry for what has happened to you. It must be so hard to have to deal with the abuse and then on top of it, your husband kind of bailed on you as far as being a supportive partner/husband.
I guess I can sort of relate as I've had a few friends who just can't handle hearing much at all about the ways in which my husband abused me. I do think some people just can't handle it. Wouldn't it be cool if WE could just decide not to handle it??!!! LOL I wish it was an option we could chose as well!!
Just know that I am here and I'm listening. You are an amazing person and you deserve peace and safety and love!!
