my abusive ex has so much power over me still
I was not ready for the divorce but my lawyer and therapists forced me to promising good things and everything
now my parents are against my reconciliation
my abuser tells me i was misled and that he is not that bad
our couple's counselor is on his side
my therapist is against my reconciliation
and I seem to be still blinded by my abuser because i want to reconcile
i cannot handle being divorced and custody and all alone and getting old and dying
it is too much and too long work to do to heal from abuse and leave him and i do not have that time
and I am completely isolated and alone whereas he has an incredible support network around him
sometimes i believe him fully and trust him and other times i sense he has not changed and nothing can be right between us
i will be miserable as a single divorced parent
i don't have any confidence or self-esteem to handle it
i am so very weak and vulnerable and terrified of aging and dying and paralyzed by fear that i cannot cope with not reconciling
it makes me more miserable though
I wish I had an adequate support network in place
in these two years I have gotten much worse
i know i should let him go but I can't
