Of course you do the first thing to do is get away from the abusive relationship. Then gets some counseling the first step to being loved it so love yourself first. As a result of abuse many people develop low self esteem, have some faith in yourself, focus on your daughter. I would not jump into another relationship for at least a year and be picky when finding men. There are good ones out there, hard to find, but out there. Good Luck!

I had a very emotionally abusive first marriage. I divorced him after 5 years of misery. I remarried about 2 years later, and we will be celebrating 20 years this coming April.
Yes, you still have a chance to be happy and loved. In fact, you are already loved - by your daughter and your family. Count your blessings, you have so much to be happy about already!
I wish you and your family the best wishes for the coming New Year. Happy Christmas!

Yes sweetie of course you do! First get counseling and maybe join a support group to take care of you and love yourself and then when the time is right the man God has for you will be there and you will be emotionally ready to have a healthy relationship. This is the first day of the rest of your life reach out and embrace it!

yes, you have hope! don't lower your standards... remember, you have a daughter now... get to know your future man very very well... if there is a red flag, he's probably not the one!
don't settle for the first man who comes along...never settle for less than you deserve/need...
do a back ground check...
remember, he has to accept your daughter, too...
if he's divorced too, find out why...if he cheated, most likely he will cheat on you, too
talk talk talk some more, to your future man...
church is a good place to look... try there, or try the local grocery store, or even the local laundromat... I am willing to bet, though, someone is right under your nose... look close to home, first...
good luck! =)

of course. everyone has a chance at love. my mother was emotionally abused by my real father, she seperated and divorsed him when i was 2. 3 years later, she ended up meeting my step dad. they have the best relationship, and you could tell that he was for her. I hope you find the right guy, just know, he is out there.

Everyone always has the chance to be happy and in love. It's being patient and waiting for that person to come along. U can't find love, it will find u!
