Anita, he actually left a voice mail last night, stating that he was sorry.
At one point while listening to the message that false hope crept back in. However, I know if I let him back into my life, it will be the same continued cycle of abuse.
I’m staying strong and healing my heart, so that one day I can invite a healthy relationship into my heart.
I do feel sad and hurt about the end of this chapter in my life. It would seem to be less painful to walk back into the arms of my abuser; however, once you are back to the cycle, you realize how much it hurts and just how badly you want to get out.
With every passing day away from him, is another boost to my self esteem and self confidence. I don’t want to take four giant leaps forward, to turn around and take ten large steps back anymore.
