Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Calling my local domestic violence center for help was very important to me. In my case it was emotional abuse. Any kind of abuse is wrong and there is help and support for us from people who understand. They may have one-on-one counseling available and often group counseling. It's a safe place to call or go to. Picking up the phone and calling them, and walking into their center are the hardest steps, but so worthwhile. Building a support system is critical to our recovery. Baby steps. One day at a time. (((hugs)))
