Susan Ball is an abuse recovery expert. She tells it like it is and I have a good deal of respect for her journey and her teachings.. She shared this article today about what self care really is and I thought it was important to share again. Thank you Susan: Self-care is often a very UNBEAUTIFUL thing. It is making a spreadsheet of your debt and enforcing a morning routine and cooking yourself healthy meals and no longer just running from your problems and calling the dis...Continue reading

And maybe he will be the same sweet, charming man that he was when they first met. W s’ s ? Because he has her convinced that if she tries he will hurt or kill her or her family.

Abusers are able to fool those outside the home because they usually only abuse those inside the home. They need your support. They need your love. They do not need your judgement.
