I am in need of help. I am living in an abusive relationship because I don't have the money to leave. There aren't any shelters in my area that can help me because I'm not abused physically. I am abused everyday of my life by a bully. For some reason people in positions of helping abused women don't see me as being in danger. I believe this is the so wrong and I feel very alone and like there is noone out there that cares about me. I don't want or need much help, I don't want to be a burden finacially or otherwise to any person or orgainization or even our government. I just need help getting out of here and help getting myself put back together so I can get back to work and support myself in a safe home. I feel so judged by everyone. If you knew me you would know that I am always the one finding help for others. I have voluteered my time to work with abused children, children with special needs, and elderly people that are alone. My mother died 5 years ago and that's when things started to change in my house. I guess him knowing that I had noone to turn to for support and comfort gave him the feeling of power that he now uses to hurt me. I don't know whatelse to do, so I find myself here. There has to be someone out there that cares, that understands what I'm talking about...right?
