Thank you gal. You bring up a lot of good points. I'd like to hear more about your therapy and how it ended up for you, sometime.
It has taken me so long in many ways to regain my empowerment from the relationships I've had with men--and I couldn't even see it for so long. I stayed in abusive relationships because I thought it was normal. That's why I have to be so careful here--when I say I don't want to remain a victim and blame it all on the other person, but I don't want to remain a victim by staying in a bad relationship and not realizing I'm being victimized. Oh I'm positively riddling myself with contradictions, please forgive me.
I *do* need to consider the source. But it's so difficult when your damage skews your perception in exactly the one place you need it.
I'm going to think about this and I'll try to explain it a little better after I sleep (soo tired tonight). I need to clarify it for myself, God knows.
Thank you so much for your support, I do want you here.
