I am so sorry to hear that you had to go through something that terrible. You are a strong person. Hopefully you’ll have nothing but happiness and love for the rest of your life. (hug)

This post got to me so much. I read it yesterday and couldn’t even comment until now. I’m reminded of the way my mother treated me in almost every word. I admire your courage in writing this, in standing before people and telling it, and for surviving it. I’d like to be as brave.

Branwyn, I’m sorry to hear of your past troubles. As areyouastoler said above, no one deserves to be treated like that.

i am amazed at the courage that it had to have taken for you to share that story with a room full of people. i do think you’re right that people need to realize that it CAN happen, and it CAN happen where you least expect. i think you did at least two things with this — took a step toward understanding (for others) and one more step towards getting stronger (for yourself)..

i’m proud of you — and i’m proud to know you…

Wow. I've never had to deal with anything like that. I do know that words hurt, though; and you keep hearing them in your head long after the person who actually said them is out of your life. Or I do, anyway.

And this story was very well written, btw. {v}

Sometimes I am thankful for the experience of self abuse I put myself through for a number of years branwyn. I asked for help as you did, and now I am a survivor. Stronger for the experience. Sometimes I wish it had never happened, but there again I am thankful for the tools given in the process of recovery. And so it goes~~~~~~Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look long into a abyss, the abyss also looks into you.

OMG!! I’m sitting here with tears in my eyes because I have been the victim of verbal, emotional and physical abuse too. I was always attracted to the bad boy type also. Oh hon, I know what you went through. {{{Hugs}}}
