I have finally found strength to file for divorce from my very physiologically abusive husband. He is not a bad person but extremely controlling and manipulative. His love was not empowering but suffocating. Now that I have started seeing someone else I still find it surprising that someone can like me the way I am, can adore me instead of criticizing, find some of my traits charming rather than annoying. And I know deep inside that what he sees in me is true: I am a very attractive, smart, charismatic and witty woman and still I cannot shake off the feeling that I am unworthy, or in my soon to be ex's words "good for nothing". Where do I start to rebuild my self-esteem again, to become myself again?
