Hi and I'm glad you spoke out about the abuse you've suffered. Don't put up with it for another minute. Leave this guy...you're better off alone and lonely than with a person who treats you this way. You know deep down that what he says to you is garbage. You know he's wrong. Use all the...

Hi and welcome, glad you are here.

Hi There, You are welcome here to post any of your thoughts, feelings. Thanks for taking the first step!

The movies (and TV shows) make our own lives seem so boring in comparison. I've written some screenplays and to keep the story moving, I have to add in plot points and dramatic events. If movies were like real life, nobody would go to see them. There is a certain pace to real life...yes it may...

Hi Phani, Glad you are here...this is a good place with lots of nice people who feel exactly like you do. Welcome!

Darkwall, You shut yourself away from people to avoid pain but it didn't work...You still experienced pain. It takes personal strength to walk through the fire, to face the pain. Once you do that, you can transcend the pain. The stuff that caused you pain before will cease to cause pain because...

Hi and welcome, glad you're here!

I hope you have a fun time but please be careful too. Don't let your feelings of loneliness cloud your better judgement.
