Dear Jen:

I can see the connection between having had an emotionally and physically abusive mother (true to my experience as well) and having an unhealthy relationship with a man. I hope somehow you don’t have to wait as long as three months for therapy, and that group therapy is helpful to you.

Whenever you want to post here about this relationship and/ or your childhood experience with your mother, please do. It will be interesting for me to communicate with another person with a similar childhood experience, and it may be helpful to you.
