Today I restrained myself from contacting my ex over the phone, e-mail, text message because if I did not, I would haved taken a step in the little that I have accomplished when I decided to end the relationship.
I was not a happy camper when I was involved with my ex because I found myself forgiving him. No sooner than I forgave him, another abusive incident happened to detach me from him. It's scares me to death to know that if one is not aware, one can make a life long pattern of having an abusive mate. Posted on 05/16/08, 08:05 pm |

Hi Carm. Proud of you for not contacting him. I had such a hard day today. I wanted to hear his voice and just talk to him. Just for a minute. They are like a drug--a quick fix--to an addiction. The only way to break the cycle IS to stay away from them completely.
get on here and talk to us. that stops me from calling. :)

Dear Amanda,
Think about all the emotional work (accomplishment) you have attained from staying away from him. If you decide to call him, you have taking a step backward towards healing. Yes, I know it can be difficult at times, but who wants to be in a codependent relationship? Who lies being abused whether it's physical, emotional, mental or verbal. You are worth more than that. I keep telling myself that.

It's crazy stepping away and taking a look back huh? Wondering why we wallowed in crap for as long as we did. Mine was the same.....I'd just try to get over one thing before something else shitty would happen. Glad to be out of it! ((((HUG))) Stay strong girl.

You did great KUDOS. Your post makes sense, and I wish I could say that I exercised the same self restraint this week.
