Hi there,
Each of us here is hurting in one way or another, I just saw your post and it makes me very sad. Tell me the area where you are, becuse I do know of some places that DO assist women, teens and little children even though the abuse is verbal. That ype of abuse in the legal world is called "Terroristic Threats", it is real and very dangerous. There are many places and IF a Battered Womens Shelter told you they cannot assist you I would like to know 1) whichplace it is, 2) the name of the person and their title, because it is against the law to turn you awway. If you do not mind me asking these questions I will dirrect you to groups that can help. These shelters are there to assist women so they do not subject themselves to this form of abuse, they help train you for jobs, if you have children they also assit while you are being trained, counseling so you do not get in this situation again, so you begin to build your self esteem. I will not go into my history of how I know these things but just know, I have been there and was in hiding for two years because of abuse. Sometimes I still have bad dreams, sometimes I am just plain scared to trust people, but I am healing and G-D has protected me even when I did not ask. Let me know, and we shall see what we can do.
I will be praying for you!
Your Friend, justinekase.
