Leaving an abusive relationship?

[Lulu]

I stayed with my abuser for 18 yrs, never had the courage to speak up for myself, my self esteem went down the drain tht I believed I can't get anybody better than him or wont get nobody's attention.After leaving him I started dating and treated all men like thy r nobody, thy don't hv heart, thy are liars like my Ex, thy r not human period. It took me 4 yrs to realize tht thy r totally like us flesh n bone, heart n tears.
As I was hurt by MAN some of those hurt by WOMAN. I met so many good ppl who r my friends now, I myself is not ready yet for the whole big commitment but dating a guy( still working on my issues). Hope time will heal ur wounds but scar will be there for ever, tht will remind u, ur courage, ur dignity and will make u proud of urself.
