Abuse is a attack of your soul.
Emotional Abuse does not leave scars visible to others. Your heart sees the scar and that is all that matters.
When going through an abusive relationship it is easy to blame and try to fix the abuser. I had to look deeper than my abuser. I had to look within myself. Sure, the abuser had no right to abuse me. By using intimidation, manipulation, and yelling to break my soul into pieces.
Is this familiar to you?
I spent time looking at myself. What was it in me that allowed myself to stay so long in abuse?
I challenge you to the same question. What is it in you that unknowingly feels that you have to endure abuse to be happy?
This is a hard question to ask yourself. Answering this question will help you break the abuse cycle of relationships with your family,friends, and job situations.
Let God heal your heart wounds from the past. Easier said than done, I know. Let me show you how to feel the love and power of God in your life. He knows your worth. He wants you to be happy today. Will you take the step and fight for your happiness? You deserve to be free from abuse in your life.

Codependency and Emotional Abuse
It's good to be back! I have been working on my book that will be released soon. I can't wait for you to read it!
Being in an emotionally abusive relationship is destructive to your soul. While in these relationships a lot of our actions took care of the needs of our mate. That kept us so busy that we forgot about our own needs. This type behavior is called caretaking. These Characteristics were taken from Codependent No More by Melody Beattie.
The list goes on: You can get this book at BoldandWorthy Books of Healing and read more.
As you can see, the list is other person focused. A little lopsided I think. You deserve care. You deserve to be listened to as well. If we took care of ourselves as well as we take care of others it would not be so bad. We end up being upset that our energy was given without anything in return.
When you leave an abusive relationship, you have the opportunity to learn who you really are. Are you ready for that journey. I will take it with you.
