I became a different person with him too. I'm glad to hear your experience is in the past.<br /><br />Gigi, It is a wonderful charity. It wasn't so bad for me that I needed them, but many women do. I'm just glad I can help in some small way.<br /><br />Gaelikaa, you're quite right. People can wear you down and take away your self-esteem. In the case of my ex, he really couldn't see that he was a bully.<br /><br />Fraught Mummy, thank you x<br /><br />Geriatric Mummy, I agree, these things stay with you. I'm sorry to hear about your unhealthy relationship. As I said I try to put the whole sorry episode behind me. One very good thing to come out of it is when I met Andy I knew straight away that he was an honest, genuinely lovely man. I hope we can raise awareness of a fantastic cause.<br /><br />Tawny, oh love, how terrible.

Even though I didn't live with him I stayed in a very intense relationship with him for two years as he managed to destroy all my confidence and self esteem. I believe I still have underlying issues dating back to this time. <br /><br />It was hard to extricate myself...I can't <br />timagine how difficult it must be if you are married, living with or have kids in these situations.<br /><br />Thanks for posting about this. I believe it's a very undervalued cause in the public perception and needs all the profile raising it can get.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12596061740891058187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629523777912990939.post-22907358805603704672009-11-26T10:27:33.412+00:002009-11-26T10:27:33.412+00:00Thanks for posting about this Sandy.

Abuse doesn't have to be extreme. It can be everyday. I really liked this post Sandy.

Every single day women are abused and it must stop. I have been lucky; but I have witnessed abuse on women throughout my life and this is a cause that is dear to my heart. Thank you for spreading the word and doing what you can.Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467164195744234746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629523777912990939.post-58736742104703318732009-11-25T23:28:24.461+00:002009-11-25T23:28:24.461+00:00That's so sad to hear and I feel very lucky no...That's so sad to hear and I feel very lucky not to have experienced anything like that. I did have one relationship though, which I came out of a very different person...I became very meek and mild thanks to his jealousy. Ironically, it ended because he had an affair. Perhaps emotionally it meant I had a very lucky escape.Almost Mrs Averagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03566374419318255177noreply@blogger.com
