We hate the sin not the sinner!  Oh yeah he was a sinner-at least 25 affairs during our marriage.



I don't flatter anyone with the word "affair" when referring to what my N does with women.   I think of him as a charming charismatic sexual predator.

Thank all of you for your responses. All of you are special,caring, and loving individuals. All of you have been thru so much with your Ns.When I go back and read some of the old post, it is just amazing that you are still able to live with your Ns. They have been so terrible to some of you, and I am so sorry for your pain.

I know that your post to me are warnings for me. You are trying to prevent me from ending up at the bottom of the pit, and I say Thanks to all of you for your helpful comments, and sharing your life situations with me.

I realize that I am at a bad place in my life. I have never experienced any of these emotions, or desires for a man until I met my xN. I don't understand what he has turned me into, or how he did it. My only crime is that I just wanted to love him and make him happy. When we met, I was sure God had answered my prayers. From the day i met him, I have only just wanted to have a normal, happy life with him.

For the life of me I don't know what happened, or when things started to go crazy. all I know is one day the script just flipped! instead of being his Queen, I seem to have become his problem? instead of respect,  i could never measure up to what he wanted. Nothing I did anymore was good enough for him. I started to see him less, he would not rec'v my phone calls, his visits to me were short,  it was one game after another. His rages, everthing that came out of his mouth was negative. All of the games were getting inside my head. He would push me away, then pull me back to him. Love me/hate me. The more horrible things he did to me, the more it seems I wanted him. Isn't that sick?

I am obsessed with him. Yes, I do feel as if he is my drug. The addiction is hard, and it is bad. Some days it is as if you are going to lose your mind. No sleep, no food, can't concentrate, you can't read, be around other people, your entire life is upside down.

I want to talk to him, see him, touch him so bad, but I will not iniate contact with him. He knows me well enough to know I will not call him, when I have made up my mind.  knowing that I may never hear from him, or see him again makes me sick to my stomach. I do know that calling him would only give him that much more control of me.

I have read e-mails from some of you that you have gone 4, 5,6 months, and  NC.  I salute you, and hope I can emerge as you, and be what I once was, strong, self-assured, and full of confidence. 

have a life again filled with joy, friends, and family.  Being able to start a day without the N being my first thought. I so much want to be well mentally and emotionally. alive, and happy. I am not sure that I can stay away from him if he calls??

I feel sure some days that he will callme. I am the one that pulled out of the relationship, not him. Had I not confronted him about the other woman, we would still be together. Because he did not control that one incident,  is why I think he will call.  You know they have to have the last word.

I can honestly say, the Post that  Redginger made has really made me think. I think I understand how for one moment they can make you so crazy. Then having the thought of not being with them forever is more craziness.

Help me to stay strong. A part of me does not want to get back into his web. I just don't know how to stay out of it.

Hi Sweetgrass,

You can contact the phone company and find out how to BLOCK a particular telephone number or numbers. It's different from screening, I believe. It literally prevents the call from ringing through. I think that would help you a lot.

Redginger,

I pray for you in your pain.  Thank you for trying to help Sweetgrass. Your words are straight from the pit of hell and ring with power and truth.

I can understand how your daughter felt and so can you. Your empathy and love for her are so clear. The fact that she could share this nightmare with you says something very good about your relationship. I think that Tony should go to jail for what he did but there is no jail time for these crimes. I wish you did not have to pay for his pathology. 

Having the ego strength to get away for someone that manipulative and cruel is impossible for many.  Maybe they have to go back a few times. I did and no one could have stopped me. This time I escaped because he found a rich girlfriend in another city.  Now I see that I am lucky.  Who wants a pahological lia?

Keep writing Redginger and Sweetgrass.  There is healing in your stories for you and for me.

Much love,

Sea storm

DEar Red,

REading your posts just tore at my heart.  I can see your love for her so clearly.  Words mean so little when you are struggling with the grief you are experiencing.  Take your time doing what you do.  All of this grieving is you honouring your beautiful girl.  I lost a daughter, due to illness, so I have some understanding of your loss.  To have someone so precious torn from your life is beyond pain.

I want to scream at the injustice of it all.  That people like her X walk away scott free to spread their poison elsewhere enrages me. 

The only thing I know is that your lovely girl is not suffering now.  She is peaceful and safe.

With my deepest sympathy,

axa

Dear Confused 2,
   I just want to say that I am at the beginning of the journey out of the deep, dark pain of an N mother and silent father. I have had "addictions" to people like you describe.. It is a giving away of your guts and soul to another person
  I think that it must be a childhood pattern. When did you feel this yearning and emptiness in childhood? Who are you trying to "get back"./ Is it a mother or father?Maybe it is your own self love?
   I can tell you that it really is better to own yourself than to have another person validate you. It is better to go forward IN TO all the pain than run away from it in to an addiction.
  I hear your pain. It must be "God's grace that he does not call. Maybe,God is blocking him from calling you
  I can promise you ,from the 'little " growth i have had-- it is worth it to find your own core and your own value rather than have a man "give it to you" Trust me..
   You can see the pain that I am going through. However, I am getting more and more self worth. THIS will keep you safe from abusive men. I admire that you are willing to accept "truth". You will get over this as long as you keep seeking the truth. You shall know the truth and the truth will make you free-- God Promises this                   Love   Ami
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.        Eleanor Roosevelt

OK – I have been triggered - a lot of anger in the following (may want to skip):

Red –

That [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] insult to bottom feeders.

His heart (if he has one) needs to be ripped out of his chest with a fork through his nose, and I won’t even mention what needs to be done to other areas of his body other than to make it physically impossible for him to father any children –in the most painful way imaginable.

Every last speck of these n’s need to excised from our psyche with surgical precision like the malignant tumors they are, thrown in a toxic waste bin, and burned.

Sweetgrass -

Please, please don’t look back.  Look forward, fill the hole left behind with something that is truly positive and beautiful.  Cut him out without looking back.

I am the daughter of a man like your bf.  Trust me – you don’t ever want to do that to a child.   

Is there anything that you love to do – let it consume you for a while, until he is but a vague memory (as he deserves to be).

Anytime he enters your head – immediately remind yourself – he is poison and no longer allowed in my mind.  Then deliberately think of something different.   Reach way down deep, pull on that strength, and excise him out of your mind. 

Red – I am sorry is so inadequate, but all I have to express the horror and grief I feel for what you and Gianna have been through.  I am so very, very sorry.  Gianna is at peace, in a most beautiful and loving place, and I pray that is some small consolation that helps to carry you through these dark days. 

(((((Red))))
((((Sweatgrass))))

Peace
(I am apologizing in advance if this offended anyone - I am just so very tired of the pain and destruction they cause and get away with.)

She was really magical, wasn't she Red.

I think she sounds like somebody so very gentle.
Life and rejection sometimes just overwhelm people with that kind of spirit.
It's true in nature too...some gentle animals have a shorter life. But they
still animate the earth.

She was very lucky in her parents. You appreciated her, you loved her.
You delighted in her and cared for her. Best of all, she clearly knew it.
You will miss her always. But you will create new meaning and purpose
from it.

The last few pages don't erase the book of her life, no matter what.
You're left stuck with the pain of grieving and then the work of healing.
You will do it.

Dear Red –

 :cry:

The light of your daughter’s gentle soul shines through her being.  May that light be your gentle guide through the dark times.
Thank you for sharing her and her story.  She is beautiful. 

Peace
