I also wanted to come back to say that it shows great courage and compassion on your part to come as a victim of abuse and offer me encouragement.
As for the truth in what W says - well, I have had a nasty temper, and although I have never struck W (if any thing, I have had urges to harm myself during those moments), W has told me that these have been intimidating to her, and made her feel apprehensive about expressing her own thoughts, feelings and opinions.
I can see how this could be the case. More importantly, I won't doubt what she has told me. All I know is I never meant to be abusive, and to hear that said against me horrifies me.
Thanks again.
Think about it...if you met a potential mate who was nothing but a bundle of needs, would YOU be attracted to them?
