I want to say thank you for giving me advice, courage, and strength to finally leave my emotional/mental abusive boyfriend for good. It has been a long journey and everyday the pain is still there but its getting easier. I am not answering his text's or emails, I had it and finally he has stopped. I think it's over for him too...I start counseling thur. and I am looking forward to it.. I am not going to put myself through this again and I realize that no matter what I could of done to fix things It would of never been good enough. Thank You for those who gave advice and took time out to here my sob and have a pitty party...God Bless!!

You have jumped the initial hurdle but at least he has got the message so keep strong for you. I am 3 years down the line but unfortunately he is the father of my 5 grown children so I still have to have occasional contact and rare meetings which I dread. I have had counselling but feel I could benefit from more, but everyday I am a little further down the road.
Good Luck but don't class all fellas as your ex as I now have a wonderful loving, caring and devoted fella in the world

Every body needs a shoulder to cry on at some time in their life. If you have found the strength you needed here on this forum then God Bless to you and to all that helped you through your time of need.
Keep your chin up, keep your courage to follow through with your decisions, follow through with the counseling because believe me it is so easy to fall back into that same type of relationship. Nobody deserves to be abused in any way. Keep telling yourself that you are worth more then that, that you are worthy of a loving relationship and keep believing in yourself and in God.
I wish you all the best. And may God keep you safe always.

Good for you. It took courage. I've been through a similar situation with my husband (he's alcoholic, we are separated) and I still struggle with esteem issues. I realized though, that even though I mourn the loss of my marriage, I am not devastated. Why? Because the bad times were so bad that I don't want them back and I can put up with loneliness while I'm healing.

Be blessed. Your courage will get bring you continued strength. You are too special to deal with abuse on any level. You are good enough just the way you are and once you heal, you will be welcomed with warm arms by a man who will accept and love you just that way.
Bravo to you!!!

Not sure but I think I answered one or two of your questions. If I did and what I said helped you then I'm happy to have helped. Remember you have one body and one mind, you need to take care of it and someday you will find a man that will love and respect you. Good luck. I'm happy for you.
