New home, new beginnings

Hahaha. That actually scarily describes one of STBXH's OW too! Brown hair, average height, athletic, good student. Pretty much what I was when we met (and still am!). Except she "used" to cut on herself with razor blades, and she needed him to buy her alcohol (she wasn't 21). And slutty is a nice word for her, lmao.

I think it's the depression / self-esteem / etc. They don't feel like they deserve better. And they crave someone to make them feel good about themselves, so they look for someone who is co-dependent.
