I thought I had it pretty bad

I thought I had it pretty bad. Stayed with the psychopath for thirty years. I had no self confidence, no self worth by the time it was over. All the horrid mind games.
But reading some of the posts lately have been heart breaking. I am so grateful I didn't have children with this freak. I am so grateful that once we split that people told mr what he was saying , Grateful I had to get a restraining order and there was no contact ever again since then.
Grateful I found out was he was and that I found this group.
He just about destroyed me, I was so depressed with not much to live for.
I'm not saying everything is peachy now but no one is manipulating me and playing mind games. I cherish my freedom, the ability to make my own decisions. I am so much stronger than I could have ever imagined.
And I have boundaries, it's nice if someone likes me but if they don't that is okay too.
Thank God for NC and some time to sort things out. Thank God he moved away and I don't have to see that smug, arrogant face again.
