Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum. I used to be repeatedly beaten by my husband and I had serious personal and financial problems. I went to see many psychologists, but nothing seemed to work. They all did the same thing - I felt like that was my temporary hiding place, but at the end of the session I knew I had to get back to reality. It didn't work at all - the advice I was given was to leave my husband, but they didn't dare advise me about financial matters because they weren't proficient in that area (yeah right). Whatever, I talked to my sister about it and she offered me to move in with her, but she knew I needed a more permanent solution so she recommended me to write to her e-coach. That is a life coach who works mainly online. To tell you the truth, writing about my problems and myself was a lot easier than talking about it. Also, it is just 20 pounds per week for unlimited sessions! It's been two years since I started exchanging mail with Angela and I should tell you that she gave me the strength to stabilise myself financially and then divorce my husband! Seriously, is there any need to spend thousands on pointless therapy? Therapists focus on dealing with our past problems and do little for the current, whilst coaches work for our future. I hope there are many more people who stop wasting their money and invest in their future! Thanks a lot, Angela!

i am glad that your out of your situation and i hope that you are doing well.
my mother stayed with my abusive father for almost 22 years before she left.
but everyone situation is different.
for example enduring that type of lifestyle. it effected me and my siblings our whole lives, even in relationships and parenting. my brother is abusive to his daughter and she is a teen sleeping with a lot of guys to mask her pain.this is what i did when i was in that situation.
my insurance paid for my therapy and medication. and the therapy helped me a lot.
