Thank you for your advice, Tranquility.
My therapist does know about my recent man issues but she thinks it has a lot to do with my low self-esteem. I never had such a low self-esteem until I entered into this relationship. I feel like I'm not good enough for him.
His mother really liked me at first but fiance told her what happened, conveniently leaving out the emotional abuse that he dished out. Now he won't even tell his parents he is back together with me because his mother won't approve. She says I'm not ambitious enough for him even though she barely finished high school and I have a college degree. She has never worked and I have had high paying pharmaceutical jobs. Her own daughter pretended to go to college but spent the tuition money on other things but I'm not the ambitious one. Why do I let her get to me?
