Hello Anita,
Those are really powerful words. I did not see it that way. You are right. I built an image of what I wanted from him and my family. He isnt that. He never was right for us. I still do, i keep wanting him to realize how good I was. At the end of the relationship I had to rebuild my life and myself. I know in time things will be better. Its just the process of getting there. Finding happiness within myself. Not allowing to manipulate me into his games.
