Wanting to see the “good” has nothing to do with your forgiving nature. It has to do with your trauma and attachment issues . You continue to obsess over a man who abused you, but the good is he’s nice to the puppy. The man was abusive to you.

You are obsessing and perseverate over two men. And I believe only for the reason they rejected you. Your self esteem and self worth are shot.

We have all said it, but there is a limit on the help you can get here. You really need professional help and I really hope for your sake you get it soon


I'm not denying my issues. I am working through them. My timeline for healing is not yours.

I just want to walk away and not HATE the man. Nor do I want to be hated. I relieve some of the episodes and wonder how I made it through. I just don't want to take that baggage going forward.

I'm working out a way for me to find peace in all of this.

I know its a day at a time. I will have good days and bad days. Truth is I will never hide behind my thoughts.

That being said I'm super excited to have finished a knitting project that is a surprise for someone and have started a new knitting project for myself.
