[QUOTE="Malika, post: 565074, member: 11227"] Hi Katya. I read this thread with some interest; like others here, I too have some understanding of abusive relationships and their mechanics. Reading you, as an outsider, I see two things quite clearly. The first is that part of you really wants to break free of something you know, deep down, is dangerous and not wholesome, not good for you. The second is that you yourself are excusing and diminishing the abuse which actually sounds quite horrific. Believe me, I understand this collusion and this push-me pull-you mechanism! It is to do with strength and weakness, in the end. Staying strong, you will protect your integrity and your children's memories and past and absolutely refuse to get into something you are not fully comfortable with. Being weak... you may get an apparent reward in the short-term but it will turn round and bite you in the end. And I think you know that very well. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
