Scared? Boy do I ever understand. First I was scared of being alone, then I was scared because maybe I'm too damaged, and finally, too scared because I got mistaken for a punching bag.

I get it and I'm not judging you.

I can tell you this though, YOU are selling yourself short, you are accepting this treatment out of fear, and you know what? As scary and painful as walking away is, it DOES lead to a better path, but only you can lead yourself there.

Staying means losing yourself, your self-respect, maybe eventually even you dignity, and the worst leaving does is force you to face the unknown...

Think about that.

The fact this is the second man you've dated with such possessive and abusive behaviours is another thing to explore with a therapist. What is it about these men that you found appealing, and why do you stay when you know you shouldn't?

I know Idk you, but honestly, I want whats best for you, more importantly, I want YOU to want what's best for you. When you want it enough, the fear ceases to cripple you
