What do you do when a family member accuses you of abuse but actually its the other way around. And no matter who you talk to it is a totall waist of time because you have a bad tracct record for things that you have done in the past. But not only are you suffering but your children are suffering also.

Jodianne, I know you have gotten some good answers, and some not all that good, too. But, before I can answer your questions, I need more clarification. You are not clear about your situation. How old are you? how many children are involved? how old are they? What sort of family member are you referring to, husband, etc. Could you go deeper into the situation? Secrecy is your worst enemy, honesty and a willingness to get out of a bad situation, is your best friend. Rather than to approach this question blindly, I'd rather understand it better. Would you try to trust me? Waiting for your response.
