> It's a huge thing to recognise that you're in an abusive relationship. That no matter how much you try, it will never be enough.
yes yes!:)
> When I left my husband (technically, he left me but I lent him the money to move out, ha ha how sick is that?) I resolved to be alone and was quite happy in my solitude. I'm still very comfortable with it, much more so since I stopped drinking. What a waste of my time! Even though I remarried eventually, it's a core part of me that I retain that desire for being with myself, by myself. I'm certainly entertaining enough...
i know what you mean...i almost don't understand the 'concept' of loneliness, as i was never one of those ppl who *needed* other ppl's company, but would choose it b/c i *wanted* it...(do dat make sense? hehe :))
> But I wanted to say that you've crossed an important line in acknowledging that your bf is an abuser.thanks for acknowledging that...it is a big step...it is so funny how you can be going downhill emotionally and don't see it at all, until you are at rock bottom..well, me anyway

clearskies your support is most appreciated.:-) i haven't checked the admin board yet, but has doc granted you that self-esteem board yet?...i know you've been oh so patient.:) and a self-esteem board makes a hell of a lot more sense than a politics board on a mental health site!:) only kidding bob. but i seriously think a self-esteem board would be very appropriate and helpful, skies. great idea.:) (funny, i didn't think i was very talkative lately...thanks for getting me out a bit, lol :-))
take care, and i'm waiting on pins and needles to see if we can get some self-esteem up in heeyah!
love,:-)
