Author Midwestmom12 Posted February 14, 2018 Author Posted February 14, 2018 Salparadise, Yes, I have been in therapy. I did it for two years before I met my ex. My son and I are both in therapy now to tackle the issues dealing with my ex. My hope is to help him and myself break the cycle. I have no fear of admitting I want love. I just am truly enjoying for once in my life putting me first. My son is of course a part of this because I love being a Mom and he is a great kid. I know I still have work to do but at the end of the day it feels good to be about me myself and I. I never have before and I can see now that has been a fatal flaw. Always putting the needs of others before my own and not setting proper boundaries. I like being this way actually and think I want to stay this way for awhile. Maybe I am bitter but oh well. I will take this over being in a toxic relationship. When and if it's meant for me to have a healthy partner I'm willing to let it happen now instead of forcing it in situations that I can clearly see may not work for me. Great feedback from everyone and lot's of food for thought. It's not easy recovering from narcissistic abuse but I'm in better place in my life than I ever have been in the past. 1
