I find it is much easier to edit something I've already written than it is to write something good the first time.(less)

Debby Gives Advice on Dating

In my last blog, I shared the story of survivor and thriver Debby Seguin. Today, I will share some of Debby’s insights into dating after abuse. I thought they were profound. Let me start by saying I am not a huge fan of online dating. I hear too many negative stories from those who have tried this. However, I also hear beautiful success stories about those who have met online, marry, and have beau

wonderful

I very rarely cry at the end of a novel, but I did at the end of this one. The heroine went through so much in her life. Many parts of her story were tragic, but beautiful at the same time.

The only negative is that it ended way too soon. I know it is a short story, but a bit too short

Wow, I loved this. What an original plot! Many interesting twists and turns. While I read it, I was downsizing my house and feeling the pain of giving away beloved items, so it really resonated with me.

On paper the plot was very interesting but I found this book dragged on for me. I just never caught the spark of a book that makes it a page turner for me.

Quotes by Caroline Abbott  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Perhaps you expected to feel great as soon as you escaped your abuser, and maybe you did feel a great sense of relief for a while. However, as time has passed, you may be dismayed by the extent of your emotional pain.”
Caroline Abbott, A Journey to Healing After Emotional Abuse

“Leaving - and healing from - an abusive relationship is extremely stressful. Your body may show the signs of the stress. While dealing with your emotions may make sense to you, you may neglect your physical health, not realizing how much your physical health affects your emotional and spiritual health.”
Caroline Abbott, A Journey to Healing After Emotional Abuse

“A pastor who counsels an abuse victim to:
- Submit to her husband
- Pray harder, or
- Be a better wife
can't help her. She should not feel guilty about looking elsewhere for help.”
Caroline Abbott, A Journey through Emotional Abuse: From Bondage to Freedom

“In a verbally abusive relationship, the partner learns to tolerate abuse without realizing it and to lose self-esteem without realizing it. She is blamed by the abuser and becomes the scapegoat. The partner is then the victim.”
Patricia Evans, The Verbally Abusive Relationship: How to Recognize It and How to Respond

“Verbal abuse by its very nature undermines and discounts its victim’s perceptions.”
Patricia Evans, The Verbally Abusive Relationship: How to Recognize It and How to Respond

“Your husband's abuse of you feels "normal" to him. A goal of a abuser treatment program is to teach a healthier normal for the relationship.”
Caroline Abbott, A Journey through Emotional Abuse: From Bondage to Freedom

“Learn to say to the abuser in a firm voice, "Stop it." Do not explain yourself, your needs, or what you mean. Simply call a halt to the abuse, and let that be your final word.”
Caroline Abbott, A Journey through Emotional Abuse: From Bondage to Freedom

“Jesus and Paul knew the Old Testament completely. Their comments about divorce were meant to add to, not replace or change, what was already written in the Old Testament about marriage and divorce.”
Caroline Abbott, A Journey through Emotional Abuse: From Bondage to Freedom
