Need to Start Over

A personal story in the experience: I Was Abused By My X
B efore I met him, I was strong and independent.  I don't even recognize myself anymore.

I told myself that as long as he never hit me, it wasn't abuse.  Then when he did (he didn't actually hit me, he kicked and pushed me) I made more excuses for his actions (I did something to make him do it, I should be nicer to him, love him more etc.).  It's like you're living a nightmare and you're becoming "one of those women" and you know and still you make excuses....

I just handed him my heart and asked for nothing, big mistake, now I am forever changed.

I am hoping to find an apartment this weekend and get out.
