wasabouthim's story

I keep it short, as many of you I had the same, started off as ALICE IN WONDERLAND, then a year in it all went wrong, dragged out of restaurants, kids being shouted at (mine) asking me to give me up bar work (yes tooooo many men at the bar)sort of kidnapped out of a foreign country, got a big scar on my body but hey ho he was the love of my life. I finally saw the light when he abused me in front of my best friend ( got dragged out of a restaurant and nearly strangled when we got home ) but he kept calling and texting non stop telling how much he loved me, As a fool I believed him, and yes we went back again. Same happen over and over again but its weird all of the sudden I really saw what he was like when we took all the kids on holiday, he is and was so jealous of the relationship I have with my kids and his kids he just flipped, we got finally back to the uk I tho enough. this is now a year later including a injunction but for some reason I can't move on. I have met some really nice men I went on dates with but I can commit at all. I have a nice meal (always pay for it as I dont want to be depended or to feel I owe them anything) some drinks but why ????? can someone tell me why I cant move on ! I really want to pls help

Realize that sometime the abuse seems like intense love

Somehow, in our mind, they twist abuse, so that the abuse is perceived as love. We cannot see it from a clear perspective when we are in the midst of it all. The constant texting, the constant keeping us glued to them. The constant attention off of ourselves, our true selves. When we are strong enough to get some distance, you realize he was not good at all. This is very hard information to take. That our perceptions could be so way off kilter, because a man had deluded us. They know that they are out of control. They know they are no good for us. They know and caluculate their moves. They only want to dominate and control. Look back, see it. Dont' confuse the good. Look back. It was ALL about control and domination. Do not speak with him. You will feel lured back to speak with him. Realize that this is the effect of his brainwashing, not your true desire. Stay away. Please, move on. Abuse is serious, more serious than you know, and honey, these guys are dangerous. Not the kind you want to meet.
