Robx,

I just read your sitch, and I see many, many similarities in my own. I have gleaned some important things from you.

I want to thank you for opening my eyes a little further than I was ready to open them, for taking me out of my "comfort" zone as it were.

I too, suffer/suffered from the same issues, low self-esteem, putting up with the constant deceit, lies, stretching of thruths, no respect for myself.

I didn't BELIEVE that I deserved better. You have made me rethink this.

After reading your post, I am starting to see things in a different light, and understand that I DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT those things in my life.

Thank you for sharing.
