Chatty Lady is right!

"His friends all think he is wonderful. They know he yells at me and shoves me and kicks the door down and treats me like s^%$#, but they all just think he is the greatest guy."

What does this tell you about his friends? They KNOW he abuses you and that's OK????? It's NOT ok. Don't ever ever let anyone make you think that abuse is ok. No one "deserves" abuse. That's a myth made up by the abuser to justify their actions because they know in their heart of hearts that what they are doing is wrong.

You are missing the beauty of YOU.

Take your SD's stuff out of your car. Boundaries. Boundaries. I'm so glad she's leaving. Tell her that discussing your relationship with your father is not an option. Put your walls up strong and hard. You need them right now.

We will always love you and be here for you.
