Hi fmck32,

I echo what is already written by the ladies… if I may add….

Boundaries, respect and honesty uphold love. These three things must be present for true love to flourish and grow. Love between two people is not static, it grows or diminishes in relation to these ingredients. An abusive free relationship in entirely possible… because if you do not accept being treated in that manner, then the only relationships left are non abusive ones 🙂

Also to note – you see these things now, because you have finally seen your inner light. You matter! You are worthy! And only you could have found this for yourself. A seed has been planted, and this also needs to be nourished. This seed is self love!

Best

Evan
