We Overhauled The Site
This site has surprised me in terms of how many people visit it on a regular basis, and so I'm continuing to try to keep it fresh and informative. I hope you'll find this new layout easy to read, easy to navigate and that you'll visit often and refer your friends.
We also started up our User Forum again, this time with a little more control over it so that we don't get a bunch of abuse from people trying to put junk posts in. We're hoping this area of the site will be something you'll find to be really useful!
You can tell others.
Digg It
In an effort to make sure that the information we've put together here is easy to find and useful to as many people as possible, we're constantly on the lookout for new ways to make use of all the latest social connection methods that are developing. One of those methods is the "Digg it" process. If you're not familiar with the Digg It site, it's basically a site where readers recommend web sites. If something is relevant, the people who found it useful can refer it to others. This is the ultimate in unbiased references! If you've never seen the site before, We've linked it here. If you think our site, is relevant to the topic of Divorce, you can refer it yourself to help make it easier for others to find us.

About Abusive Relationships - Some Straight Talk
Abusive Relationships - Zero Tolerance

This is a difficult section to write about. But if you're here, chances are you've found yourself in a relationship that has become abusive. There are many types of abuse, mental abuse, physical abuse, but whatever form you feel that you are in, there are some VERY important things that I want you to understand right now!

  • You do NOT deserve to be abused, physically, mentally or both by the person you are married to.
  • You do NOT need to remain in an abusive relationship.
  • You are NOT alone, there are resources all over that are specifically geared towards protecting you, providing you with assistance as you get free of the abuse.
  • You should take action TODAY to get yourself and your children safe.

Please understand though that I feel very strongly about this subject.  No person has the right to abuse another person, no matter what the circumstances.  You may feel trapped, you may feel that you have nowhere to turn for help, but in reality, that does not need to be the case.  Please don't forget that you can call 911 if you need immediate help.

In the course of working on this site, I have corresponded with several people who came to this site looking for help and advice on how to fix or survive the abusive relationships that they are in.  In most cases, the victim feels trapped in the relationship, which is precisely how the abuser wants them to feel.  By maintaining financial and emotional control, the abuser is able to keep the abused locked in, with no apparent way out of the situation.  But there is a way out of any relationship, and if you are in this type of relationship, it's absolutely CRITICAL that you believe that.  Below I have listed just a few of the national organizations that have been created to help you.  Please contact one of them immediately so that you can begin to remove yourself from this unhealthy situation.  You deserve to live a life filled with joy and happiness, and often that life is just one simple step away.

Ask for help! Make that first step and you'll be one step closer to turning your life around.
