Hugsss... You are not only the one. I wrote previously thread, I was tearing my eyes. I was very angry myself. Why would I stay with my ex much longer? I wish, we have a deaf program like OddBall posted. I would leave him immediately if I know that program. I had no idea how could I kick my ex's butt out of my life. I was afraid and passive of him for years...
Glad, you are much happier now with new husband and move on new life.
Hang in there Liza !

I read ur thread and i want to be the first to break the news to you there isn t a deaf program that i know if that has a support group. from what i was known to see and understand only one and not very much support group would attest to this, was JSSA in MD that i have heard of but doesn't do the abuse programs for the deaf abusers, I d like to see this happen, u know i had a dream last night i'd like to share with u all its sort of a how to explain a bit hard, I ll just do my best heh...
I can understand how you feel being awkward to share your feelings with us. Hope, you feel alot better when you typed on this thread out of your chest. It will take a long term to heal your difficult time in the past.
I went to some sort of state and entered a program for the deaf where i was to stay for one full yr non stop, and this kind of program has a mix of boot camp and therpy combined and i would really be movivated to do that kind of program, im sure u have heard of self defense classes and that was also included in the program each abusers has to be the abused person by the abuse survivor to sort of like * kick it in the brain* type of on hands classes, to make the abusers think of the pain that the abuser CAUSED on the victim in other words u would be victim defending urself ON the abuser by showing u can defend urself and not the abuser. and also was thinking wished there was a program like that that really will kick the abuser's ass in every way to make them stop and break the cycle.
I know what do you mean. I had seen several Deaf clients who went to State program. Some clients are successful, some not. Itself communication is the key. There is not many good couneslor or pscyhologist in State of Massachusetts who are familiar with Deaf culture and language. It is very frustrated for us to find one around here.
As for self defense class sounds very interesting. I know one Deaf woman took that class. She loves it so much. Her esteem-self develops stronger. She kicked her ex husband by karate. *whoa* Bravo !!
it was a dream and woke me up to good relization. I would really go for that kind of program to help myself and i would voulnteerly sign in for that!
I am so happy for you to sign up that program. You really want to change yourself. It will take for a while. Do they provide an interpreter that program ?
NO court, no friends, no body for that matter can tell me to do this, i can do it for me, cuz i reconize my abusive ways and i would very much go for this kind of thing....
May I ask you, how old are you now? I have seen teenager kids were ignore those people like you do. I was wondering why, they rebel against them. Those professional people really want to help those teenager kids. It doesn't work.
the person IDD was talking about was me, i was her ex we both made mistakes getting back together and i relized one i wasn't made for relationships I just gotta stop hurting other poeple.
I am glad that she gives you another chance. I can see how much she wants to help you. Important teamwork to be reinforcement each other.
Do not give up yourself ! It will take your time to resolve your problem. It takes me for a long time to deal myself. I must
NOT think about the past. It infludences me anger and emotional. I do sometime tear in my eyes when I looked the past. It is so hard to not discussing about my bad marriage !
Thanks for your sharing with us. Be strong Java !!
Hugsss...
