Domestic Abuse Support Group to Meet

{sidebar id=3}“I’ll never hit you again.”  “If you’d just do what I ask, I wouldn’t have to do this.”

Maybe you’ve heard these words; maybe you’ve said them.  Whichever side you’re on, physical and verbal abuse cause inexpressible damage.  The bruises may fade, but the invisible scars last a lifetime.  An abuser attacks your emotions, your sense of worth and often, your body.  Long after physical scars heal and the argument ends, emotional wounds erode your self-worth.  Abusers typically act out of an unchecked need for control, and the people they abuse become imprisoned by manipulation and domination — sometimes even believing they deserve this cruel behavior. 

Fortunately, there is a way out of abusive patterns both for those addicted to control and those victimized by abuse.  Join us for our first meeting on June 27, 2008 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for a prayer-based support group held at Medart Assembly Of God.  Refreshments and free child care are available. 

Come build friendships and a support team.  Call 926-7940 with any questions.
