Have you ever dated a manipulative person?


Well.. I married one..

Who over time pulled me to pieces, He stripped every part of me..
Ran me down and into the ground.. pushed me riiight to the edge (but not quite) until I was a little shadow of myself. He would tell me how fat (I was very skinny then) and ugly I was.. how I was a useless lover.. cook mother driver.. wife .. friend.. etc. He picked every part of me *apart*.. my hair skin teeth nails.. body.. everything. .. I ended up with a huge inferiority complex.

He would tell me that my friends were only my friends because they felt sorry for me.. He did all he could to stop me seeing my friends and family, and cut me off from them as much as he could. I was just stuck at home with three tiny children that he refused to do anything with. Wouldn't let me visit my friends, wouldn't let me go anywhere on my own, and wouldn't let them visit me. (So I would sneak them up when he was at work)

He did whatever he wanted whenever he wanted, He spent all our money.. so that I would have to borrow money from my family to buy food and nappies.. He slept with half the town.. and would could home and drag me out of bed to cook for him.. and If I didn't say or do the right things.. he would beat the stuffin out of me. (and.. while I'm on the subject..if you read it before.. I didn't dislocate my knee kick boxing.. HE dislocated it for me)

I don't regret it.. because I wouldn't be who I am today.. and know what I know without having been through it. It was a *Life lesson*.. a bloody BIG one.. that lasted 10yrs.. but a good lesson none the less.

One that makes me *ME*.

But here I am.. 4-5 years later.. alive and kicking.. back on full form and MUCH wiser. I forgave him a few years ago.. he has changed a lot.. and KNOWS what he did. Funnily enough.. he is one of my closest friends now.

But I still have a bit of a problem when someone pays me a compliment.. I always think.. are you BLIND??


There.. I *Shared*.... but you DID ask..

Eve thank you very much.. though I didn't write it for *That*... I was just sharing my bit too.

But you are right about being proud.. I don't want to sound like a big head.. but I AM VERY proud of what I have become and achieved since then, how I turned it all around.. when I honestly never used to want to even wake up again.
