Adversity is part of life. It comes in all shapes and sizes. It's not what happens to you, it's what you do about it that matters most.
Battered women also come in all shapes and sizes. And I'm convinced that what they choose to do with their circumstances, after the fact, is far more important to the bigger picture of their lives than anything else.
Here are some things that will increase your well-being after an abusive relationship.

I am looking for a site to post the relationship healing things that my partner and I have found over the past two months (after 5 years of struggling). We are learning, adding and practicing some things that are making all the difference, and we want to share.
Any idea where to do this?

Labeling a relationship as abusive is itself abusive. You alone are responsible about how you feel. Don't blame your own emotional scars on others. Accept them as part of your unique makeup and learn to thrive with what you have or ctreate an alternative universe. YOU, YOU, YOU!
