have you ever lost respect for yourself? when i started to love this man and gave him my all, I found out i lost everything. my family, my friends, my money, and self-respect. i was a battered wife. now, estranged, i dont know how to pick-up myself. i needed a job badly to support my three children. all i know is that god will provide. i hope...

seek professional help. there are organizations out there that will help those in situations like yours. do not lose respect for yourself. keep your head up because this will help you through tough situations, and be stronger for the sake of your children. were you working before? did you go to college? what's your educational background? what job experience do you have? what are your skills? if you let me know the answers to these questions, i may help find something for you to do.

Don't ever loose respect for youself, you are worth more than you think. The best thing for you to do is get some counselling and join a group where you can share you feelings. The best way to overcome the misfortunes in your life is to educate others who are in your shoes. Yes you are right that God will provide but you have be positive and open minded. There are number of Government grants that would help you to learn a trade or skills to get a job. So be positive and show the man who did all this that you are better off without him. My prayers are with you. God bless you. Peace.

you definately need to find a support group or seek professional help or both. keep reminding yourself of your kids, give yourself that purpose in life to become stronger and happier for yourself and them. it takes time and is hard but in many places there is help available if you just seek and ask....but i dont know what that is like where you are... good luck and have faith in yourself...things can only get better...and promise yourself not to get into a situation like that again....i do even tho i wasnt a battered wife, i had an abusive boyfriend for 2 yrs a while ago and i still have fears and things in my head from that...but we can only try and push on.
