It's amazing the patterns we follow, the partners we pick later in life, isn't it?
After I left the EXAH, who was violent, beat me, and was also horribly abusive to me mentally/emotionally, I thought the problem was solved.
Little did I know I continued to make poor choices in companions, but always rationalized they were 'different' because they didn't beat me like EXAH did.
What can you do to make your life better, or is this acceptable to you-a period of 'good' followed by abuse like that?
