Wow. I don't even know where to start, or how to put this lightly. I unfortunately cannot seperate my emotions from this topic.Originally Posted by strange_wings
I don't really get how anyone can let themselves be victimized like this.
We're not all like you.
Abusive partners tend to brainwash their partners and it is a viscious cycle to break.
Blaming the victim for being victimized? I'm sorry, but that is just wrong. I hope, really hope I am misreading the above statement.
Trillcat: No matter what ANYONE says, this is NOT your fault. Noone chooses to be a victim. I commend you for posting, and supporting, and talking about your experience. By doing so, you have opened up a doorway for another person to see that there is a way out. You've done great by burning the numbers, I hope it felt really good. Like Carolina said, the only way you will be able to truly free yourself from his hold is by no contact...
Thank you for posting.
