You're entirely powerless. You've begun isolating from your family. The shame is so deep that you're afraid to look them in the eye. They'll surely see the heavy secret you've been carrying. You've tried to be "good enough" for him, but the cycle of emotional abuse and manipulation is never-ending. You've begun to question your sanity. You made excuses for their behavior, his "moods". You've changed yourself to appease him and lost yourself in the process. You no longer recognize the woman in the mirror with her sad and tired eyes. You've disconnected from you friends and the things you once loved. You've lost who you are.

While none of us can change the past, we can learn from it and make thoughtful, positive decisions that will shape our future.

If so, this is the therapist who wants to help individuals, couples, and families by meeting them where they are at, and instilling hope and positive resources within them.
