Today would have been my 15th anniversary with him if I'd have stayed. 12 and a half years free. Scary what might have been. But being free of two abusive partners is better than I thought it would be. There is still some lingering fear of course, but I cannot imagine myself in a healthy relationship. I am not mourning the failed relationships but the potential for love.

You have been brave to leave abusive partners. They were never worthy of you. I do think there are good people out there, many who would be loving and kind. The challenge is to figure out who they are.I haven't mastered that, so I understand the mourning of the potential for love. You deserve better. We all do.

Personally, I think there are three types of people we come across.
- The bad.
- The good that may be scared off by the issues and struggles we have (or even maybe their own).
- The good who would look past the issues and struggles we have and see our own goodness.
I am certain it's this third group that we have difficulty finding. I have experienced the second group, too, so I do understand how you may come to believe that. It would be nice if GPS existed that hones in on that group #3, as it would give us more hope that there really is potential out there for us.
