i just wrote a blog entry on my happiness blog about verbal and emotional abuse. It was cathartic to write and to list out the abuse tactics as I did. I am hoping if the search engines pick it up, that it will help others.

I did not go out last night and felt a bit lonely. But I realized that I am far better off feeling lonely than I am being in an abusive relationship!!!!!

I am still processing through my emotions, but I keep coming back to the bigger picture of things... that he is a trainwreck in his own life, that this was NOT love, and that this was abuse.

Thank goodness I did not marry him!!!!!!! I truly dodged a BIG BULLET there. He probably would have ruined my life, and ME along with it.
