Why is so difficult for a woman to believe she is beautiful? When my wife was pregnant she told me she was fat and ugly. I thought she never looked better and couldn't keep my eyes (or hands) off of her.

You have to realize that you probably aren't in the best position to make that call. From where He is, your Master can see what you cannot. He sees beauty in the whole package that is you. Next time you hear those words, "you are beautiful," believe it.

And don't worry about being too far off topic. After the abuse is over we all have to deal with the aftermath. The emotional takes a lot longer to heal than the physical. Good luck.
