he creeps in & you lose yourself
one of my buddies said recently that i'm hard to keep up with at times b/c of my frequent updates. sorry. there's always the back button. i write in my diary when i have the need to.
last night, i read something that made me want to say the following:
it's so sad to see how an abusive relationship can mess up someone's life so badly...that it can really shatter a woman's sense of worth....that a person starts to believe she deserves bad things in life, or that she's ugly and vile. it's so insidious and probably one of the hardest things to repair when a person is left broken like that. i'm glad i don't specialize in work with abused women the way my grad. school friend cindy does. it's tough work--really tough work.

below is a quote i came across in grad. school while reading an article about abusive relationships:
..."like all people in love you want to spend more and more time together until it's all the time. only then do you realize he's been creeping in....creeping in to your psyche and heart and soul, carefully pinpointing your weak spots and crafting arguments that convince you that only he knows what's best for you to eat, wear, where you should be, who you should see....hurting you so bad and then saying he'd never hurt you again".
