It is hard to understand but when you are isolated and your self-esteem is destroyed and all you have is your abusive partner, your feelings are confused at best.

I was just a drone there to serve him.
He isolated me from family and friends.
He became verbally abusive.
He wrecked my car,and trashed my things.
He punched me in the face,tried to choke me,and locked me outside of house in the winter.
He had addictions which were controlling his life.
I had set into a deep depression
I mourned the end of my relationship

Exactly what part of the relationship were you mourning: Being choked, punched, or locked outside?

Re: pulling self up by bootstraps thelovelybones: idocsteve,what it was like in the beginning and the good times.Obviously I get how fvcked up it had become,thats why I left.Mourning a loss and what things used to be,and the old me.It was just a metamorphasis.I was also basically stranded,and got out *when* I could.
