Dear Brav3:

I wonder if your the name you use, “Brav” – stands for Brave?

You stayed and endured her manipulation and then cried and beg for her to not leave you because you were afraid, isn’t it so? You were frightened. And so you didn’t stand up for yourself. This is a disempowering experience and I believe I understand your distress now. You feel shame for the fact you acted fearfully with her. If you could re-do the ending of this relationship you would act differently, no matter how fearful you felt.

Would you like to do a little exercise, rewind time in your mind to before you begged her. Imagine you are facing her and you are going to tell her something, instead of the begging. Write it here, if you will, make it empowering, make it respectful to yourself. Will you?
