Mad

no problem, typeingtornado.

i think fear is a valid excuse to a certain extent, but eventually a person must learn how to deal with that fear and get the help they need. i'm not saying it's easy, but it can be done.

No offense... But fear is a valid excuse... Some people are afraid of what others will think of them, especially when even the family dosent believe anything has happened, and questions your need... And you just dont have the emotional energy anymore.

Thank you typeing...that is what I was trying to convey. The fear that is instilled in an abused person can often be enough to keep them from seeking help.
 
I think that some people are strong enough to climb out of the well (which is great if you are) on their own but others need help getting out of the well. A friendship can be a stepping stone from the bottom of the well to the ground (which is psychiatric attention).

also, if a person is in an abusive situation, they can receive temporary housing at a safe house while they decide to press charges against their abuser and can receive therapy from other social service agencies, a local university or a free mental health clinic. there's no excuse not to seek therapy. if one needs it, they will find a way to get it.

I was in an abusive situation. I made myself intentionally homeless. It took me 4 months to get housed. Meanwhile I sleep at friend's place.

The problem is that sometimes their are reasons why a person cannot go up to authority and claim this support. Maybe they are under age, Maybe because they have pets and know that the housing won't accept them, maybe they love their abusive partner, maybe nobody believes them. Maybe they just don't want to talk about the abuse that they have been going through with official people.

I'm sorry that you feel that way. I find it very interesting myself although I admit that it is off topic. If people don't like people talking about domestic violence or abuse then they can read other topics. Maybe the mods could make this into a new topic instead?

this is true. no one objected to any of us discussing these topics in the nightmare thread. hmmm. perhaps the mods can merge this thread into that one or create an entirely different thread.

Obviously for some of us domestic violence and child abuse are the things that set us off the most.

How could it not?

I can understand how those subjects might be more than some people are ready to deal with, but they do seem on topic.

If the subject draws that much emotion, then how can it not be important?
 
<seconds Berry> Abuse is definitely up there in terms of pushing all my buttons.

i couldn't agree more.

as someone who has experienced 3 types of abuse and 4 different traumas in my life, both are definitely things that push my buttons.
