Sounds like, maybe, she was looking for an excuse. And there is no reason you need to put up with a violent relationship.

I know we never met, but if you need anything, let me know.

I am glad you were able to put an end to this relationship. It takes a lot of strenght to break a pattern... I know what I am talking about and I know this choice caused you a lot of pain... I am sure this pain is actually an investment for something better...

I am very proud of you, really.

I you need anything, I am there.

*hugs* I'm glad you stood up for yourself.

Big gentle hugs... I totally agree with Morrigane - you have broken the pattern. No way you could see this one was toxic because it was awesome compared to the one with E. You have grown much, and it is unknowingly painful. Here if you need anything.

Everyone says it better than I do. Hugs and you will find yourself getting stronger after this. I, too, am proud of you.

Oh, Honey. I'm so sorry.

**hugs**

I know the pain you are experiencing. I left a relationship that was emotionally and eventually physically abusive six years ago. It was five days before our wedding. My heart was so broken, I literally could not breathe. I thought I would truly die from the heartache. I want you to know that I did keep on living. I kept taking in air. I got through each day somehow, someway. I know that you are going to do the same. You may not feel like it right now, you may not want to...and that's okay. Just know that you will get through this.

I'm here for you. If you need to talk to someone, if you need someone to talk to you, if you need someone to share silence with...I'm here.

**BIG HUGS**

You have finally taken a step towards loving YOU! I am so glad you are now on your way to a real life. It will be slow to start and sometimes very lonely. You have friends who love you and support you though and you will be fine. Better than fine. I am sending you much compassion and love. I am also here if you need to talk. Be kind to yourself and patient and KNOW that you will get thru the dark forest to the sunny and glorious field beyond. Go slow. It is near. ;-)

*hugs*

Hon I agree with everyone. You took the right step, maybe the hardest one, but the right one nonetheless.

Holler if you need a shoulder or an ear.

*hugs* ♥ You kick ass for being so strong.

*hugs*

What everyone else said. Bt I know that just becase yo're doing the right thing doesn't stop it hurting.

*hugs*
If you need to, let's find you a job here.

aww, man...I'm sorry. If I was there, I'd give you my shoulder and we could go out for something to eat and drink in a little independent coffee shop (or really anywhere your choice!)

It feels a little bittersweet, good and sad at the same time. Relationships are hard. I'm here if you need anything.

WE LOVE YOU!!!! I'm sorry to hear about this, but we are sooooooo PROUD of you for putting yourself fist, and getting out of that toxic relationship...DC would welcome you with open arms, and a place to live...*hint**hint*

Things seemed to fall away rather quickly. You were happy at the campout, very happy.
Two things. First, there is a saying, "People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime." Obiously she wasn't there for a lifetime, so the real question is if she brought some change to your life or was just something of a placeholder. I know I'm being very analytical here, but hopefully it'll bring some insight when you're ready for it, and since it's on my mind now, it's a good time to put it out there.

Second, you mentioned you've been in two abusive relationships in a row. That makes me ask what it is about abusive people that draws you? Were either of your parents abusive? Are you playing out that, or is it something else? I wish you were closer, as I'd really like to chat about this with you in person. But Irving to Denton is a long walk.

All that said, I'm really sorry this happened, and you have all my heartfelt feelings for you and your situation. Know that you are loved by people who care about you, and that we're here for you. If you need to, feel free to give me a call, and if you don't have the number, send me a private email at nyyki at gypsyheir dot com and I'll get it to you.

All will be well, hun. *Hugs*

it's hard! there's a lot of people rooting for you. keep your chin up and you'll see it through. it may be that this is what you needed to take care of YOU and move your life in a new direction.

Hugs!

Sorry, hun. I have to say I'm a little happy to hear she's gone for good. I don't think it's a good idea to drag out painful things. I vote move to Houston. We'll be much more accessible, for one thing.

*hugs* If you need anything... let me know... just take care of yourself!!
