Have been and now am not! Feeling like myself again and actually happy. I am giving myself reassurance that I deserve to be well and live a happy life and not letting myself feel guilty.

Can never get the trigger stuff to work on my "smart"phone but here goes

Trigger warning from this point onwards
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
One thing my abusive ex would do is threaten suicide if i didnt do as he wanted

He also said he would make sure i had two kids cause he wanted them, i have never wanted kids

He wouldnt allow protection in the house for either of us and even though fire is a major fear of mine, he wouldnt allow me to wear anything in bed at night, he would literally hide my pajamas so i couldnt wear them

yes he wasnt allowed to go within however many miles it was of the homes of some of his exes, even before i got involved with him

i wasnt able to see the red flag at the time

i have only recently began to understand why thats a big red flag (learning disabilities that i got)

Do you consider abuse in the hospital an abusive relationship? Cause I've had that.

I grew up with a physically and abusive mother. Married someone like her trying to fix the past. Divorced after 31 years, then experienced spiritual abuse.....a church that put my name up on a big screen, followed by the words, "Conduct Unbecoming a child of God." The book, The Verbally Abusive Relationship saved my sanity and my life. I still have my faith and sense of humor!

While being able to see red flags is good for self protection, being overly hyper vigilant causes you to not be able to trust anyone. It’s not good to try to see the bad, lead with that kind of thinking.

I agree. I've definitely been in abusive relationships.
