I have finally learned to stand up for myself and my beliefs.
About three months ago I stumbled upon your website and found myself
reading an article titled "A Girl's Guide to Avoiding the Emotional
Blackmailer" by Suzanne Watts. As I read on, I slowly realized what my
instinct had been telling me for the last 8 months. It was almost like
the article described my ex-boyfriend perfectly.
Even with all of my self-esteem sucked into his little pathetic life, I
managed to snap back to reality and see, really SEE what he'd done to my
life for the last 8 months. I was horrified! Money, time, energy ...all
down the drain to some asshole that only wanted a pretty face by his
side and someone to take care of him like a child. As hard as it was for
me, I put my foot down and kicked him out of MY house.
The first couple of weeks he called constantly... after the first
month, he began stalking me. I stayed calm and let NONE of it "get" to
me, and now finally, he's gone.
I've have made a new vow to myself to open my eyes and not be so damn
gullible all the time. Yes, it's good to be a nice person, but I'm sick
and tired of getting walked all over. The next man in my life will earn
my respect by respecting me. The next man in my life will work with me
to figure out problems instead of against me. These are now a MUST in my
life, no longer a want. And if the person I'm with can't understand
that, then he's not worth my time and effort anyway.
I am a 25 year old single mother of two daughters. I want to teach them
how to be strong and responsible for their own actions. I couldn't do
that when I had a man in my life that was sucking the life out of me.
Thank you for opening my eyes to what I was too blind to see.
