I heard about a book that is essentially a "How to" of how to get yourself out of a rutt. Many of us women, mothers, and wives often get stuck in rutt that seems never ending. I have been a victim to my husband perpetual abuse. Its a painful cycle of Financial abuse, emotional abuse, sometimes physical abuse, isolation, parental manipulation (in the sense that he intentionally tells our daughter I have done something wrong or worse tells her to either strike me or tells her to reprimand me). I have fallen for many traps set by him to continue the cycle that keeps me in this rutt where I feel as though I will never be able to empower myself. As I watched the author of the book "Get Unstuck" describe steps to get people out of their constant state of dilemma, I thought about what I too could do to get unstuck. I realized, I've begun the process of healing myself slowly.
1. I blog and share my feelings, my thoughts, values, woes, and tips on life of marriage parenting, marriage, weddings.
2. I attend counseling once a week to help cope with the pain of being in the situation I am in.
3. I look for work as often as possible so I am not crippled by my spouse's abuse
4. I pray daily to ask for spiritual guidance and forgiveness
5. I try to make a list of things to accomplish
I'm not sure if anyone reads my blog, but I hope it will help any other person that feels trapped. Today, I have to face the fact that I have to give up this hopeless relationship and file for divorce, and find a way to support myself and my children. I have to make a way, to heal my children from the damage they have seen, and what has occurred. Is that any one wants? Never, but is that the only recourse in a hopeless situation? Yes!!
