I'm so broken that I don't know how to fix my life? Please help me?
I was emotionally, verbally & psychologically abused by my exhusband & my 2 youngest children(I have 4 kids). I was at peace, free, but so alone I let my oldest (25) pregnant child return home she's due 8/18. My youngest daughter (19) (has psych issues not treated) got hit by a car last month, was too high functioning for a rehab hosp for physical therapy. Oldest daughter guilted me into letting her come home for pt. Should've listened to my gut, youngest one flipping out, I walked away but should've called 911. Instead my oldest calls 911 not once but twice on me for minding my own business & just trying to rest.She broke open my bdrm door after 11pm Fri night cuz I didn't want to deal w/her so I blocked the door & she calls 911, pd & fd clear me. Get up yesterday am go out while at walmart she calls 911 again cuz I didn't say a word, I'm told go voluntarily for psych eval even though sounds like domestic issue. My 1 day I went out alone other than Dr.'s since my car died last yr I end up 6hrs in hosp.
I'm in subsidized housing & on SSI I only get $775 a month for both physical & mental disabilities. I'll have to let the girls have the apt as I don't want to be there any longer,too many horrible memories. The only thing is I'll probably have get a studio apt if I can even afford that.
I've been in counseling for over 5 yrs also just started doing EMDR & before my car died last yr I was going to a Domestic Violence Support Group for 1 & a half yrs. I didn't expect my life to turn out so sh**ty at 50 yrs old this month.
All I can say is why must my life keep getting worse with no one who cares or loves me?
Thank you to those who took the time to read & answer my question.

A previous answer follows, modified for you: One suggestion is to write a letter, expressing how it has affected your life, and what you would like to see happen about it now, then either post it, unaddressed, or have a ceremony, and burn it safely, in a metal container, and flush the ashes down the toilet, symbolically ending the matter. Hypnosis is merely a heightened state of suggestibility, in which communication with your subconscious mind is facilitated. 85% of people are suggestible, to some degree, so you could preferably seek professional hypnotherapy. If not an option, hypnosisdownloads has: escape emotional abuse. If the above proves insufficient, I suggest that you seek psychotherapy, and a course of EMDR therapy, (* http://your-mental-health.weebly.com/q.html ) would probably reduce the negative emotions associated with your memories of emotional abuse to more acceptable levels - the EMDR to reduce the negative, combined with the other techniques shown may be all you need, enabling you to avoid psychotherapy (open ended; can take years, cost a small fortune, and achieve little, depending on the therapist, and client). Try the relaxation methods at http://www.drcoxconsulting.com/managing-%E2%80%A6 or http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/mindbody%E2%80%A6
or www.wikihow.com/Meditate and/or Tai Chi, Qi Gong, or yoga. Also page L at this site*, where there are several to choose from.
Some people are still dismissive of them, but scientific testing has demonstrated conclusively that they increase activity in the left prefrontal cortex, when practised regularly, and will enable you to find a way of being; awareness, without suffering, when you need it, and is a valuable tool for helping you through the worst parts of life. Give the acupressure EFT a good tryout, to see if it helps you. It is free via the searchbar at ** www.mercola.com "EFT" & "EFT therapists", or www.tapping.com (13 free videos) or, if still available, the free video for PTSD at www.emofree.com Professional EFT is always preferable. - There is a version for use in public places**, (you could claim to have a headache, as you employ the acupressure massage/tapping your temples, but you would then be restricted to subvocalising: saying it to yourself in your mind: "Even though I suffer the aftereffects of emotional abuse, I deeply and completely accept myself." At the end of therapy, discuss the importance of (sincere) forgiveness; to not do so is to hold onto the hurt, but you may not be ready for this step for some time.

You have raised many questions for your query, I will reply this one Can Love repair what Life has damaged? Yes supplied it is actual, unconditional love....... the minute hypocrisy, falseness enters into courting it spoils the whole thing, the individual whose spirits had been raise on account that he proposal he was once being adored & cared for truthfully disintegrates whilst he realizes how hypocrite the opposite individual is and the way false his/her love was once . If you desire an instance of such actual love learn the guide " les miserables " and exceptionally the passage in which jean vallejan meets the priest who feeds him , offers him safe haven whilst no person is in a position to take action, whilst the entire international is hell bent on labeling him as crook , an animal this priest treats him the way in which a individual will have to be handled and despite that jean vallejan robs this very priest, however this priest forgives all his sins and that is whilst a truly difference occurs in jean vallejan . Such love , perspective as proven by means of that priest regularly has vigor to fix what lifestyles has damaged .

I would visit Social Services to see what they can do to help the home situation. For your emotional well being I would suggest a psychological professional to help you with your stress and how you can manage through each day without taking the abuse.
