Learning to Stand Tall Enough - LJ Idol Season 9, Week 4

At first, everything was wonderful.  He made me feel special when he made love to me, when he introduced me to his 3 year old son, when he introduced me to his friends.  He convinced me that I was beautiful.  I believe me when he told me that he loved me.  After all, he wouldn't say it if it weren't true, right

So glad you overcame. What a jerk! AW

[adpaz]

So am I. Otherwise, I'd still be in Florida, waiting for something that would never come, instead of enjoying life with a wonderful husband and two fantastic kids here in Nashville.

Hooray for the husband and kids! So much better.

I'm glad you were able to stand up for yourself and get away from him!

[adpaz]

Thanks! It took awhile, but the important thing was that I was able to take that step.

[adpaz]

Most definitely! Especially when I was younger, I had a really hard time standing up and saying "You aren't treating me how I deserve" and lived through a lot of bad boyfriends. They helped make me who I am today, so I wouldn't change it, but it was really hard sometimes.

So glad you found your strength. And this was a wonderful piece.

I've seen this happen more than once - lesson learned, on my part, for sure. I'm sorry you had to go through all that. -hugs-
