I hope when I have the strength to actually leave, I won't continue the "giving in" and take this into another relationship. its baggage.
what new situations are you finding yourself in where you feel similar to how you felt in your relationship?? is it new relationships or day to day??

It's mostly people who I meet and end up putting me down. I know I shouldn't let it get me down since they barely know me... but sometimes I can't help it since I was abused. My therapist has helped me a lot and I've gotten stronger. It's just one of those days for me since I've been called crazy and it's something my ex used to say to me.
I'd be crying or upset by him putting me down and he'd call me crazy or that I had issues. When someone who loves you puts you down and calls you horrible names, it's wrong. I know I could never do this to another human being based on what I've been through.
Sometimes I feel as if people can tell that I'm an easy target since my heart is very big and I care about a lot of people. So I get cautious around others sometimes. Hopefully I'll end up getting over this and I know I will soon. It just kinda hurt. =\ And I hope you end up getting away from him soon.
