Is it me ???
| Mon, 06-19-2006 - 11:09am |
I just recently ended a pretty bad relationship. It lasted longer than it should have, we were on & off for 10 years. He suffered from depression, he uses drugs & alcohol and gambles. I guess I just always went back to him because I was either lonely or I always tried to "help" him get better. Anyways, I've just met a really nice guy and I'm basically terrified to get to know him. I'm so used to being treated a certain way ( really bad ) I don't know how to react to this guy. I told him I need to take things slow and he understood, but I don;t want to push him away. I don't know how to let people treat me nice. I hate my ex even more now because he made me this way. Any advice?????

Your fears are understandable. Perhaps therapy would be a useful tool to help you deal with all the trauma you've had to deal with.
