I strongly encourage you to find a therapist who understands abuse & it's impact on the abused. Therapy can help you define boundaries, identify what you want to do with your life and encourage you to process/work through the pain you've suffered. As bad as it's been, you can come out of this a wiser and stronger person. I am trying very hard to look at it as a learning experience of who to avoid and how to love & protect myself from emotional vampires.
I hope you find the help/support you need to help you get past the pain. You are not alone, even though it often feels that way. Other survivors understand and are rooting for you.
Good
I've actually gotten a lot of therapy. I think I'm at the point where I don't care anymore, I just wish I hadn't wasted all that time.
