    Wow...

    I'm new here, and on the other side of the world, but I'm with you, every step of the way. Hugs don't send well over the internet, but...*HUG*

    My views so far are:

    Ask yourself: Do you want this? What he wants after what he put you through is completely insignificant. If you choose to contact him again, choose to do so for you, and make sure you do it on your terms. Also ask yourself: Are you ready to deal with your issues now, or do you think it would be better for you to wait until you are more emotionally and financially stable? Again, this is about you. He can wait until you're damn well ready.

    Do WHATEVER is necessary for you to feel better. Therapy, medication, joining one of those weird New Age groups that meets on hilltops and howls at the moon... do it! This will mean prescription anti-depressants at some point. Going on them is a huge step, but if they make you feel better, you will feel better, and if they don't work, just tell your doctor you don't want them any more.

    Remember that blood is thicker than water, but so is toothpaste. You have no obligations in this matter, do anything and everything you choose to do for you and you alone.
    The customer is always right, but this is a public house, and you are a guest.

        I moved 1200 miles from home at 22, just after I finished college, to get away from my controlling, super religious dad (well, I did also have a boyfriend down here, which included a place to stay, and I hate cold weather!). I love my dad very much, but it was the same old story...his house, his rules. I had already lived in the college dorms the first 3 years and was used to doing what I pleased...moved back home the last year and realized I could not take it any longer. Fortunately he didn't hold it against me, and eventually my parents moved down here too...Dad's mellowed a lot and doesn't preach at me much. Mom and I have always gotten along great.

        My problem now is my husband, who is more controlling (and obnoxious) than my dad ever was. And after being with him more than 16 years and married about 14.5, I really feel stuck. Nowhere to go, not much money (though I know I could get by), and it just seems so hard and sad. Many hugs to you, cashierbex, and we must keep trying to find a way to be happy and comfortable with ourselves.
