Damn,I hate to see girls learn this the hard way.It seems like these abusers are pretty adept in their routines of fooling girls.Hopefully these things have sharpened up your bullshit detecting abilities.I'm sorry.makes it hard for you to trust even a decent guy.Not to mention it being a waste of time.Makes the rest of us look bad.
yeah I've had a lot of trouble trusting other guys. On one hand it's been a good thing because Ive learned to stay away from bad situations, but on the other hand... it's caused me a lot of trust issues with the good guy that came into my life afterwards. and I hate my abusive ex for that. I wish I could just be happy now but I am always defensive and I can't let my guard down.
It might be good if you girls can pm each other and really lay out what happened to each of you. Sharing mutual horror stories and methods of recovery,ect.might just be the ticket to some healing.The one and only good thing about this is that ,hopefully you now know what you-all will NOT put up with.Hope this helps and again ,I'm sorry.
Its absolutely true. Im not feeling as emotional today as I was when I made this thread, but now I know ALOT about myself, and I know how a woman should be treated. Absolutely. Much better perspective and sense of proportion.
Not to mention added self-trust as well as an ability to teach and help others. Glad you're feeling better today.
This may sound simple, but just to realize that their actions are a reflection on who they are, not who you are sometimes helps people a lot when they are getting over any sort of abuse.
