"You are nothing but a selfish b*tch and never there for ******. She is always there for you, but you're never there for her. You are a fake, everyone knows what you're really like lol"
((((PITW))))
That's horrible, and, I'm sure, totally untrue.
Another one that I got:
"I think that the most traumatic thing about what happened to you was that you kept making the decision to go back to him. I implore you to ask God for forgiveness."
Never mind that he told me he would kill himself if I left him. Apparently it's all my fault.
Fail.

"If you're not having a sexual relationship with your husband you need to start."
Great advice, thanks. I can't do it without getting upset and it turns into a bad experience for us both, but I guess I can just grit my teeth and do it anyway. A positive experience isn't important, right?
