Avisg.......I agree totally with you! We are worth so much more!!!!!

Can i just say................... i was in a very abusive relationship, at the time i thought it was ok, i thought i deserved it, he made me feel like i deserved it!
Until i left that is........thats when i came to see that i was a better person than him, i WAS WORTH so much more. For the people that are in an abusive relationsip...please take care of yourself, they have no right to harm others, i know its easier said than done to leave but your life will be 100% better if you start thinking about yourself.
Please take care all!!!!

Avisg......Exactly...when is the 'right' time, like you said the right time may come to late!

Please call these people...they will help you so much. Thats when a new, better life can begin! There is nothing to lose by calling them.....but plenty to gain if your freed from this!
