Recovering from Domestic Violence, Abuse, and Stalking

HOLLISTER, Calif. - May 15, 2017 - PRLog -- "… the good news is you can recover your lost self-esteem. The first step is to admit that you want to do this, to admit you have a problem and want to correct it. After prolonged abuse, self-esteem may not return to you on its own; it needs to be nurtured. You must start by turning your gaze inward, selfish as that may seem. Accused for years of behaving like a selfish bitch (selfish is a favorite word of abusers—they feel it justifies their actions), you may recoil at the very concept of the word, but it is that concept you need to court. It is not wrong to turn all your attention to yourself, your likes and desires. Being "selfish" is what you need right now; it is what will heal you."
