Firstly a public forum is not the best place to deal with this, half of what you will hear is crap and while you may get some good advice it will be hard to distinguish it from the rest of the rubbish. There are a number of counselling services available, obviously it depends on the nature of the abuse that was faced.

Google and you'll find a number of irish support groups and counselling services which may help you.

Fish, respectfully, are you jumping the gun in assuming that Angel is referring to a specific type of abuse that requires counselling? Some could refer to the occasional removal of "perks" as being abusive parental behaviour and then there are the more obvious ones.

Angel, can you be more specific here? Are we talking, physical, verbal, emotional or sexual abuse? Hopefully posters wont post opinions here if the type of abuse doesnt apply to them.

If you want to talk to someone about it then the Charter has some useful links.

I'd say if people want to discuss it then go on ahead, just as Kell said, there are some insensitive people who might take the piss or just lie straight out.

Abuse is a delicate subject, incredibly delicate, and can cause huge problems, i had a friend who was beaten up repeatedly by her parents, to this day she doesnt resent them, but thinks it was her own fault.

Are you talking about abuse just from parents, or from friends, family, strangers? Does bullying fall under this? Sexual abuse? mental? physical?

If you want to discuss this then try to narrow it down a little.

I dont like this topic being discussed in this way. I also think the this could be voyeuristic. I cant imagine anyone wanting to hear thoughts/views on the topic from abuse survivors.

I think this is best dealt with privately.
