About Me
It's time for a new profile. I first joined DS in May of 2007. I'm divorced... twice. Have two children from my first marriage. Life up to this point has been... in a word... hard. I've been told by more than one friend of mine that more bad crap has happened to me than anyone else they know. So, I think it's about time that some good stuff came my way. That's my goal from now on. Life's too short to put up with someone else's crap, harbor resentment, be unforgiving, or let someone walk on me like a carpet.

Close Physical & Emotional Abuse
Emotionally abused by my STBX for nearly 10 years. He is very insecure and has low self-esteem, so his way of making himself feel important was to pound the people he claimed to love into the ground emotionally by belittling, bullying, pushing, manipulating, attacking our self-worth.
Treatments

- I would forgive him if he would only stop abusing me.
- Leave Not Working
- We separated March of 2007 and he's still controlling me by not settling the divorce.
- Talking Not Working
- "Our" friends think he's great. They don't want to hear me talk bad about him so they avoid me.
