Though, you May not, turn out,to be like your parents,,please be careful with this push/pull pattern that is forming with your new bf?
How long, since you've dated your abusive exbf? Did you seek counseling, for it's lingering effects on you? Friends are great, to have, too, don't get me wrong, but there's little things of a therapeutic nature that a trained/skilled professional can help resolve. And, though friends aren't burdens, to one another, it's much to ask them, to tend to family/relationship wounds. For instance, you May need stitches, not a bandaid. Both helpful, but you'd turn to a medic, for stitches. Then your friends and bf, can help change gauze, or bandaid(depending on size of the wound)
