Fuzzy,

I know what it's like to be tormented by someone who has power over me and made to believe that everything that happens is my fault; that every single thing about me is bad.

The bad thoughts come back again and again, and we feel they will never stop.

That's what we are left with, and it's not easy.

Peaceful thoughts, M

PS - The experience of being intimately connected in a bad way with a person who cannot love and protect is very near to the hardest thing in life. As a priest once said to me, living in the absence of love is what the word 'bad' means.
