I have been struggling really bad lately and have choosen to dive into reading as much as I can, writing(when it doesnt hurt too much), soaking up all I can from this site, and looking at my two beautiful babies. I know that I have no other choice, wait, I know that I have decided that I have no other choice than to get better, find out if there is any me left. It hurts and I dont all together believe that I will ever get to where some of you are, but I am taking the chance of trying...

I go to therapy, I read, I read some more, I write, but the hurt wont let up! And when I am having a really bad day and think nothing could make it much worse..i turn the corner and there he is in his truck, with his new dog and the glare he gave me sent chills down my spine and I felt like i needed to run. Problem is I have no where to run. His anger and hate of me terrifies me. If it hadnt been for him getting arrested I am sure he would be trying to contact me and it scares me because I stupidly would have gone back. In a way I am grateful for the night he came to the house. At least now he has so much hate for "telling" that he wont have anything to do with me. Yet it still hurts. I am trying really hard to tell myself that him hating me, all the things he did dont equal who I am. At least that is what all of you have been telling me.

But you throw mommy in the picture and my mind wonders how the two people that are suppose to be the ones that protect are the ones that destroy and how is that not my fault?? I dont know the anwer to that yet, but I just try not to think it, instead I try to hear what all of you tell each other.

My question is, how do I get the hurt to stop? How do i ever find a way to look at myself in a mirror without complete disgust? How do I get to where I feel worth air?

Im reading, Im talking, Im writing, Please tell me what more can I do, because I am still sinking.

Everybody walks...

through this journey, a little different from one another. Of course, NC is the first major step for everyone.

I started breaking through when I began to focus on my issues that led me to accept that this form of treatment from the narc is love.

Saying postive Affirmations, was also a step I took. At first it seem silly to me, but they helped greatly. I am having to repogram my brain, after how he treated me.

Also learning to love myself.(still in the process) I remember asking on the forum how do you love yourself. I thought this is silly how is a bubble bath (or whatever)going to help me. It did, the small steps really do help.

Hunter right, keep working at it, and the lottery will come. You're doing great, love those babies!!

Look how brainwashed we all

Look how brainwashed we all are, we are abused and we think it's normal, we associate it with love. We start to think that we deserve no better. Would you love your children this way? No of course not, because you know how to love properly. Users and abusers cannot love anyone they get their kicks by controlling others. Those others are people like you, me and all the girls on here that are simply nice people. We know how to put the needs of our partner before our own, so much so that we forget that we have needs. Gradually we give more and more of ourselves and when we look, we cant find who we are.

Your self esteem has been smashed, your sense of worth is no where to be found. This has purposely been worked on, so that you have been easier to control.

But your inner core is still there, you are a beautiful person capable of pure love for your children and others. You are compassionate, caring and considerate. These are qualities that are priceless and they are all yours. You have been put on this earth, equal to each and every one of us, we all have a right to live the best possible life we can have.

You are doing all the right things and you are trusting the process, so it will come good for you, like it has for me and those that walk beside us on this path.

Celebrate, you are out. The evil narc with his evil stare can go eff himself.
