libbyann,
First off, Hi. Hope what I say does not offend, ever.
About abuse, please read this other post.

Of course this may not fit well with your memory of abuse, but physical abusers are nearly all emotional abusers, toooo.
Do you respect yourself unconditionally? Has anyone taken the time to talk to you about your self-respect? In order for self-worth or self-esteem to "gain traction" in your life so they take hold and give you good feelings about yourself, you must have a sense of self-respect, and unconditionally for awhile.
Paring of a man and woman can be a tough and taxing process. However, not all paring is toxic to the folks who partake. Enjoy what you can and don't ever regret trying.
