I was in a relationship once where I gave all of my
power away. He was a master at mind
games that included guilt trips and he would confuse me in ways that I ended up
feeling like I was the crazy one. He
kept me isolated from my friends and family and criticized me so often that I
went from being a powerful women to someone with no self worth. He would build me up only to take me down in
his next breath. I have no idea how this
even happened. I had always been a
confident female with many friends. He
somehow got passed all of that and destroyed me. I was with him for 3 years. I supported us while he spent his days having
fun and probably sleeping with other women.
I had
several friends and family members try to save me. I ended up pushing them away and defending
him. I didn’t want to see what I had
allowed to happen to me. I finally ended
it after meeting a lady, who is still one of my best friends today, who hung
out with me and my partner for only a few hours. We went to the bathroom of the bar and she
looked at me and said, “What are you doing with this guy?” I don’t know why I heard her and not all of
my other friends and family, but this is just how it worked out. I ended it with him that night. It was very hard to do, but I did it. It took a long time to build back my self
confidence and remember my worth. I am
grateful for this horrible learning experience and if I could go back in time,
I wouldn’t change a thing. That experience
helped to make who I am today. I am now
a very strong, independent, successful woman, who has a wonderful husband that
is everything the former man was not!
