Roz - I used to think so, I called it "The Mark". Like an invisible target painted on my soul that predators could detect!!! I HATE THAT!!!!

NOT all people are abusers. Life won't always be like the past. Things can improve and we can get well. I've been experiencing it.

I'm sorry things are so tough right now for you. It is hard to learn how to put up healthy boundaries. I'm still learning that and I feel like I've had to put so many up that I'm all alone behind my boundaries.

Right now I'd rather be alone for a while until I can sort some things out. It's hard, but I have to find a way to change my life some.

I hate that the person I should be able to trust the most, doesn't believe me about my past. That is horrible. Sorry...

I believe you will find support on here and I hope you feel better soon.
HUGS (if you want them),
