Dear Mepina:

It is sad that some people try to weaken and break down other people, to hurt others, and yet, it happens a whole lot. In nature, danger to the deer comes from the mountain lion/ predators of other species. In humans, most danger comes from members of the same species, other humans, like your ex boyfriend.

You wrote: “I need to understand why I tend to allow pain into my life”- we can look into it here, on your thread, if you want. Let me know.
