[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 737708, member: 13542"] Welcome. I agree with SWOT, counseling of some sort will support your own self worth and offer you options for how to respond to the situation from a sense of empowerment and self value. Others treat us in the fashion which we allow, don't allow this treatment, don't allow another to disrespect you. You can look for therapists in your area at these sites: The Psychology Today website and goodtherapy.org. If cost is an issue, ask around for counselors who do sliding scale or contact your local Social Services to see what therapy is offered for low cost. You might also try attending a CoDependent anonymous (CoDa) meeting which are free and may offer you some comfort and guidance. You can also contactl the domestic abuse hotline for other options ([URL="http://www.thehotline.org"]Home | The National Domestic Violence Hotline[/URL].) You can call them 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) and chat with them and their advocates can connect you with resources for support. They are trained in how to assist you and can listen and offer you help. Verbal and emotional abuse is still abuse, it is no less damaging and insulting to your SELF than physical abuse. You matter. Your thoughts, feelings, values and ideas matter. When we've been in situations which are abusive, our self esteem suffers mightily......it sounds as if you've been enduring abuse for a very long time. Take a stand for yourself and seek out safe places to receive support. You deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and love. [/QUOTE]
