Had a horrible weekend.

Found out my best friend of 10 years has basically blabbed about every single personal thing I have told him about myself. I feel like I've been kicked in the nuts, and the stabbed in the stomach.

Trust is an important thing to me. I never break confidences. I know some horrendous things about him, and if I was to bring...

Wow, it's over a year since I wote anything! Funny how my previous posts were about being heartbroken, and now I'm in the process again. Gotta laugh though.

I'm getting tougher I think, recovering well now. Decided to change paths and become a Holistic Therapist / Counseller, and I am much happier with life now!

I was in an abusive relationship (not physical, although it was heading there), which was my rebound relationship from my last ex. Who I never shouldve dumped and am trying to get back....

Anyway. I'm glad you can take some blame off yourself now. Abusers are manipulative, and pretty much trick you into playing their games and thinking its all normal and everythings your fault. The guy I was seeing was such a con artist, he caused me to leave my 6 year bf and not go back to him several times when I really wanted to and could have. Now Im rid of that guy, and my good ex is seeing someone. Ahh! Relationship topics always lead to me writing out my story whatever

I also had to have my therapist point this out to me, and it became so obvious. I'm sure you will learn about how abuse cycles work in therapy, and how to recognize and avoid them. This will really help you in the future.
