Women stand side by side looking into the sunset over the water.

The moment I realized the abuse was not my fault

A woman from one of our groups shared this feedback with us. We want to share it with you:

I loved being in the When Love Hurts Support Group. It was so helpful for me. One moment that stands out for me is the moment that I understood that it wasn’t my fault. The abuse was not my fault. It was like a heavy burden rolled off my shoulders. Hearing the stories of other women, seeing quite clearly that the abuse they endured was not their fault, helped me to see that his abuse was not my fault either.

This is one of the reasons we think Support Groups are invaluable. Women can see something clearly in another woman’s life that is hard to see in her own life. Then it brings new insight to her own situation.
