Getting abused is the most traumatic life experience and recuring abuse can leave you as an empty shell of a human being.

Those who have never been in an abusive relationship, cannot comprehend how difficult it is for a victim to leave a narcissistic partner or cut ties with a toxic family member. We hold on because of a shimmering hope of a better future or fearing social repercussions. To cope with our situation, some choose the path of addiction.

The Minds Journal offers the best blogs on abuse, tips to prevent abuse, and coping skills for abuse. Our blogs about child abuse, substance abuse, narcissistic abuse, and relationship abuse will help you liberate yourself and live a life free of pain and fear.
