Dear Broken Man:

Your story, your ongoing story is fascinating. Fascinating to me because I lived your story as a child and kept living it until my first experience with a competent, empathetic and hard working therapist… and then it took more time before I cut contact with my mother (my abuser) in May 2013. Following that I was still enslaved to my mother’s mental representative in my own brain, and it is only yesterday that I noticed it was her birthday and again, I didn’t call to say happy birthday.. but had no guilt about it, nothing but a smile.

Back to your story, I was wondering- when you did leave your wife (your abuser) the few times that you did- how were those experiences? Were you then in no contact with her? Were did you stay during those time and what brought about you going back to your abuser?
