yes!!! I LOVE READING THIS!! Thank you for posting!
More and more I am seeing myself in this light as well. I deserve happiness, stability, respect and I think I'll start ensuring this happens TODAY by treating myself in this way.
But man is it hard to detach and do what is best for yourself. Its like getting a root canal. I so want to sweep it all under the carpet and pretend he didnt say all the things he said.
But you didn't. You heeded the red flag. Fantastic.
This post is all about leaving behind the fear and finding yourself, pleasing yourself, requiring others to respect you as well.
Three hot fireman would do the trick as well..
