That is very interesting.
I was just looking into a book about healing emotional abuse.
I say I am fine but I can tell I am not.
I hide in a shell. I go to work, I go home. I only spend time with my niece or nephew in they are in town. I wish I could go one without someone treating me like a doormat.
1.My ex must have been an abuse from childhood. I miss my Mom because she loved me unconditionally.
2.When I look in the mirror I don't like what I see. I can't say those things about myself. I just see a worthless person looking back.
3.My relationship made me realize I am not worthy of being loved.

I'll have to go read more of the articles. Thanks
