Dear Sugahorse,

Put me on your friends list and write me any time by PM. I'll keep your name in mind and whenever I see a post of yours in any of the forums, I'll reply. Getting involved here with other members in the anonymous way we work is one of the simplest ways of being able to talk about things you'd rather not talk about with your family and friends. Of course, keep in mind that what is said here, stays here. So you shouldn't have any worries in that connection. Do you really want to stay with a guy who treats you as you described? Just from what you said in your post, he sure doesn't sound like a bargain to me. Do you have your own place, where you can retreat if necessary? Do you go to school or do you have a job, or neither? Do you have family in the area or are you on the outs with them? Sorry for all these questions, but I'm just trying to find out about your situation so me and others here on PC know what to say to you. I certainly hope that your situation improves and that PC'ers help you in any way they can. If you want to you can communicate with private messages to any other PC member, but you'll get a wider range of responses by starting a thread in any of the emotional disease forums. Take the best of care.
