Ha ha, I am new here and I copied a code for a badge and it didn't work out. That's the least of my problems right now.
 
I have a goal to end a toxic relationship. He has been verbally and emotinally abusive to me and it's time to end it. I have been wondering why I went back to him after the first time I broke up with him. I am guessing it's because he took me to most of my doc appointments and places where it was too scary to drive because of my panic attacks.  He is not all bad. We have good memories (one year of dating) and yet I ignored the red flags. I want to expand my social network in my own community, not just online.  I want the reciprocal caring as good friends have. My BF wanted all of my free time so I lost some friends. He wanted me to himself and he wanted to keep tabs on me, like "where have you been?" "who have you been with?" Arriving at my house unannounced accusing me of sleeping with someone else. I was late coming home from a work training session!  I deserve better. I just want to feel free to come and go as I please without worrying about the next PA. Frustrating. I guess you can say I used him to help me feel safe, but ultimately he instilled fears in me that are almost equal to a PA. Road rage, name calling, putting me down, yelling at me. No more I say!
