Thank you for sharing your past abusive relationsip. I could do anything differently, I guess I would leave at the first signs of him leading to abuse.

You are not stupid, as I am not either, I have been in Case management/Therapy for along time, though in the last 6 months starting to work on my personality disorders and trust issues that were ignored for many years. As you say you have learned to trust, I am at the newborn state of that now. Taking baby steps to trust one step at a time.

I am happy for you, that you have found someone to love and not have to live in fear, and that you now are able to have someone and feel safe and trust.

Thanks again

Best Wishes-

If you think you have totally gave up, you haven't, because you are here!
