"Verbal Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Controlling Personalities, Controllers, Narcissists, Passive-Aggressive, Abusive Partner, Abusive Marriage.  When and how do you know that enough is enough? How do you end a marriage with children when the signs of being abused are so vague? How can you gather strength and support when the abuse occurs behind closed doors? Are your children being affected? Do you feel crazy? Like perhaps he/she is right? The only way you can fight back is to not forget, get angry, learn your rights and talk to others in similar situations. After joining several similar topics, and finding that there are just too many forms of emotional abusive relationships (ie, parental, boyfriend/girlfriend, etc) I decided to start a group and see how many people are interested."

"As long as he doesn't hit you" is a phrase we've all heard. But many of us know that verbal and emotional abuse leaves unseen bruises and invisible scars. WoundingWords is a group for all women who have suffered from verbal and/or emotional abuse. We are here to support each other and to educate ourselves about this little-understood area of abuse.  "If you are on an emotional roller coaster, being put down, feeling confused, hurt, thrown off balance, experiencing frequent small shocks, feeling stunned, wondering how you could be hearing what you are hearing, wondering what you could have said or done, feeling isolated, being called names, disparaged or subtly cut to the quick, and you have sought to nurture and understand the relationship - if your experience was negated, the experiences of the women in this book will resonate with you."  From "Verbal Abuse Survivors Speak Out" by Patricia Evans, Bob Adams Inc, 1993"

WelcomeToOz
Yahoo Groups
This list is for people who need support because they are coping with someone in their life who has borderline personality disorder (or traits of BPD). This can cause much anxiety, depression, confusion, isolation, etc. People on this list know what you're going through and are here to help!  This list is mainly for non-BP partners: married, single, gay or straight. You can also join lists for partners in specific kinds of situations such as staying or divorcing. We also offer more specialized lists for adult children of BPD parents; parents with BPD offspring; grandparents, siblings, people coparenting with a BP ex, Christians, GLBT, men only, women only, and professionals. See BPDCentral.com. Before joining this list must read the guidelines and agree to them before posting. The guidelines also contain technical instructions. YOU MUST POST ANONYMOUSLY; get a web-based email address if you need to. Welcome to our list! See the guidelines ASAP for suggested books you can read to understand the lingo, recognize common relationship interactions, and recommended steps you take to better handle your relationship. First off, you need to have a copy of "Stop Walking on Eggshells" (SWOE) and the "Stop Walking on Eggshells Workbook" (SWOEW). Other booklets and such we refer to often are: * Love and Loathing: Protecting Your Mental Health and Legal Rights When Your Partner has BPD; * Splitting: Protecting Yourself When Divorcing a BP; * The Custody CD's (the formal name is You're My World: A Non's Guide to Custody Disputes); * Hope for Parents: Helping Your BP Child Without Sacrificing Your Family or Yourself.  The booklets above are NOT available in bookstores; only by calling 888-35-SHELL. You can take a look at the tables of contents at BPDCentral.com.

Please note - The boards are designed to provide support and information regarding abuse and life after being abused. Please be aware that absolutely no flaming will be allowed on the boards - they are to be a SAFE HAVEN where survivors, victims, and other visitors can come and know that they are accepted and loved. Please take care to communicate in "gentle" ways - while it IS acceptable to express your anger, frustration, sadness, or other negative emotions that are very normal, as well as expressing all your positive emotions, it IS NOT appropriate to attack someone else on the board or make statements designed to anger or inflame others.
