Hi, this is my first time asking information on this but any information would be helpful. My lover came from a very physical and emotional abusive child hood. As a result I know that it has affected her through her adult life. I feel that alot of pain that she is experiencing right now has alot to do with her child hood. I'd like to know if there's any type of literature, books, help and even assistance that i can recieve for being there for her as a supporter and to also help me better understand and how to cope with someone who has had this type of background thanks

There is an online support group called safe-support that sounds like it might be helpful for advice and support for someone in your situation. To join, follow the directions at http:// www.safe4all.org/help.html

The group is kind of quiet right now, but if you bring anything up, it might stir up some conversation, and there is a great group of people there!

Good luck, Jade
