Tough Talk,
I’m embarrassed to say, but I was in an abusive relationship with my girlfriend. She treated me awfully and I just took it. It took me ten years to wake up and get away from her. During this time, she isolated me by causing problems with my friends and family. Looking back, it was like some corpse or vampire walked into my life. I’m trying to make up and repair the damage of the relationships, but they seem indifferent if not mildly contemptuous of my situation. Any advice TT? (Seneca, Kentucky)
Seneca,
These are the consequences of a warped and ugly world and you allowing yourself to go along with it. Do your best to repair your girlfriend’s damage. But don’t be surprised if people think you’re a putz, squid, loser, etc. Family and friends are forever. Anyone who doesn’t understand that is a guttersnipe of the highest order. You should have seen this from the get-go.
