Hey everyone, I have not posted anything in a really long time.But I am back now Long story short, I was stuck in an abusive relationship that started out verbal/emotional, escalated to sexual, and now, a year later, turned slightly physical. Seventh time leavings a charm right? So I have been away from him for almost three weeks now and I feel stronger then all the other times I left, but I have had a really hard time. Me and my friend are in similar situations and she brought a really good point to my mind. Sometimes, when it hurts so bad, and you just want to go back, all you have to do is think of those absured times and laugh. Because when all is lost, sometimes laughing is all you can do to keep from breaking down. So here is an example that I pulled, something I could look back on and realize how stupid it was and just laugh–He said: i would never tell you who you cant hang out with! But dont hang out with him. But that doesnt mean im telling you who not to hang out with, I just dont trust him, and , I would want to see you hurt [Italics mine ].Now, it helps to read the above sentence in a funny voice. I remember breaking down crying out of frustration and confusion, but now i look back and just laugh. Maybe its a way to avoid the pain, but it helps me when i start feeling like i want to go back to him. I just tell myself, yeah right! I can see right through you now.
