Wow. Yes, yes, yes....so much pain and suffering. But, he is also very charming, and did so much for me and did his best to try to improve and change. He is accusing me of giving up on him, but the final weeks we were together were so terrible. Emotional abuse...so badly...I couldn't even think...I was just floating around. My body was moving and I was hardly in it. Just surviving. And I too, was being responsible for his child. It was too much, and when I put up boundaries around her I felt bad, but I was so tired of her. She is such a bi-product of his emotional 'stuff'. As the weeks go along I can see more clearly. I will go to another meeting on Monday, and keep going. I will, I know it is what I have to do now. Thank-you for sharing, and reminding me that what is happening is okay, it is normal. Thank-you.
