Thank you. Most helpful. I was in an abusive relationship for 26 years. God had to rescue me and drag me out of it. My advise to those abused is don't wait as long as I did! When Jesus said love others as you love yourself, He made it quite clear that a. loving ourselves in a healthy way is not wrong and b. until you love yourself, again in a healthy way, you cannot love others well!
