Support Group for Mother-Abused by Their Offspring
Are you being routinely denigrated, badgered, threatened, or battered by your own off-spring?
-You keep a deafening silence, because the general response is "Something is wrong with you."
- You scrutinize and blame yourself while producing excuses for the abusive child.
- You walk on egg-shells around the abusive child, fearing explosion.
- You are wrought with conflicting emotions: Love, anger, heartbreak, and shame.
While the problems of child abuse, elder abuse, and spousal abuse have finally been accepted by the society, the subject of parent abuse is still shunned, a taboo of sort. Victims suffer in complete isolation. Yet according to researches, parent abuse is increasing at an alarming rate.
You are not alone. Break the silence in a safe space. Find solutions and heal with other mothers who understand. Call 650 533-8768 or e-mail supatramfti@yahoo.com to register. Location: San Francisco at Powell St. BART station

My son beat me almost to death and was going through a divorce and was told that if i reported him i would never see my youngest child ever again. I am bipolar and do not deal with things very well. i am in counceling, i am threatened almost every day that he is going to kill me. I have to live next door to them because i cannot work. I have no friends and only leave the house when its absolutely neceassary. I dont know why i have blurted this out i guess its because i wanted someone other than my councler to hear it.
