Re: Depressed and Helpless

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

I'll tell you my impression from when i read your

post, but only you can decide if this fits your life

or not. I will preface this by telling you I stayed in

an abusive relationship for 28years before I let go of

the fear and took the steps out the door into my life.

It took me that long to realize that NO ONE is

helpless.

Is your husband the father or stepfather? It doesn't

matter, abuse is abuse, it's just more often between

stepparents and kids IMHO. Never think there is

nothing you can do about it. If you can't talk to your

husband about it, go to a therapist as a mediator -

even if it starts out that you just go. ly, you

definitely sound depressed (crawling back into bed).

I'll be glad to talk to you offlist about it. I have a

lot of things to say, but my mind is so confused

today, I can't get it out right.

; )
