I know how you feel. Why can't we be happy with who we are, why can't who we are support us through these terrible relationships? OK, who are we? Have we really developed ourselves...do we support our own dreams and values? I know this is hard too, do we have hope or do we just think negatively. I am trying to have hope...trying to fulfil my dreams even though everything pops up in front of my face to deter me or make me discouraged. This last bad relationship kicked my butt, I have very little self-esteem, and for the last week (since breakup), I have had to dig really dip to look for what is left over in me, the real basics. I am building from that. And it ain't easy, being alone. You've got to break away from whatever it is that is holding you back from discovering what you are missing, that's for sure...and try to stay on track to finding out what and who you are. Abusive relationships...they just control you and narrow you down to a little piece of flesh with no mind, one that gets walked over and driving into the ground. I am resolved that won't happen again. Courage is definately needed.
