battered husband

Getting divorced was one of the best things that could have happened to me lol. I stayed miserable because I was afraid she would take my daughter but that sure wasn't the case. All she that woman cares about is money and she easily left my daughter to run off and find some guy she hoped would pay her bills. She's been divorced twice more since me, as soon as she spends all the guy has and maxes out his credit off she goes to find another way to change her last name again before the bill collectors catch up to her leaving the dude with all the bills and horrible credit. Heck one guy she made re-enlist during war time so she could get the sign on bonus for a new car, sold all his land and house while he was away then left him also once he was bled dry!!

Dude, I've heard horror stories, but that last one takes the cake. Unfortunately it does sound like you and your daughter better off at least :/

I know I'm better off, and my daughter is an amazing lil lady. I just wish her mom would be more of a mom, I mean no little girl should ever have to wonder why her mother doesn't love her. Even though she is a teenager now it still bothers her, her mom is the one missing out though. My daughter is a truly kind and loving young woman whom I have received more compliments about than anything else in my life. Honestly her mother doesn't deserve to even be able to call herself that since giving birth to her is the only thing she has ever done one would consider motherly.

Very glad to hear your daughter has turned out well despite the challenges with(out?) her mother. I think that says quite a bit about you. So props dude!

I'm 15 and have potential schizophrenia and was in a "relationship" with a borderline who just bleached off me despite that I was so mentally ill. Now I'm alone and somehow much worse.

*leeched

Dang man, I know it's hard but you learned a valuable lesson. Never in any relationship allow the other person to control your happiness. If they leeched off you then you are better off without them, being alone isn't always a bad thing. We all have issues with ourselves that we could concentrate on and make ourselves miserable. It's our choice what we choose to believe, especially when it comes to how we feel about ourselves. People can say and think anything they want about us, but their words have now power until we choose to believe them.

I broke my neck and for a while I chose to believe I was worthless because I could no longer do the job I had or anything very physical. People in my life thought I should just be able to get past it like it was nothing. I let myself believe I was less than them because surely in the same situation they would handle it better. It took a long time for me to heal mentally from a physical injury. I made the decision not to let that injury be the main thing that makes me who I am. I tell myself when I'm in pain that it's my soul reminding me I'm still alive, no matter what bad shit happens I'm still breathing and I will get past it.

I've seen some of your memes you have a good mind and attitude about life. Don't let anybody who wants to put some label on you change your perspective about who you are inside. You are still breathing, you are young and can learn from these things. Teach yourself the things you need to be happy, don't let others try to teach you that you don't deserve to be. That's the best advice I can give you my friend, you're not alone, you just haven't found yourself yet ;)

I usually get super psychotic when I'm lonely (delusions/hallucinations) and that has been happening a lot lately. I almost want to go back to the person even though they practically dictated my life.

Sometimes it can be easier to let another person control us. The thing is in order to control somebody you have to make them feel like they don't deserve to control themselves. My x wife killed my self esteem to the point that I didn't feel like any other woman would want me. When you love somebody who uses that love against you in order to get what they want. You can start to believe they are the only one who would ever put up with you.

Though I can't say I know how it feels to be in your shoes. I can say I know how it feels to be trapped inside your own head. My escape from that has always been writing. Now I can add making memes to that as well but still sometimes I just have to sit down and create an entirely new world with words. Maybe you could try that when you feel overwhelmed, put that energy into creating something, it doesn't have to be writing it can be anything. It doesn't even matter if it's any good because you aren't making it for other people. Just find a way to get it out somehow you know, don't let those feelings sit inside you creating more negativity for them to feed off of. Create something positive and rob them of the ability to get any stronger....

I remember her guilt tripping me when I got out of the pysche hospital.

Read through comments. You're amazing. Thank goodness your ex didn't try to pull a custody fight. I've seen women with a similar mind set, not only go from guy to guy and drain them dry, but have kids and continue the drain with child support while they're draining their next victim.

Thanks very nice of you to say. I guess in my case my x is simply too selfish to have time for her kids. She also has a son that was 7 when we got married. I was 19 and she was 25, she thought my Grandma was rich with failing health at the time. Her son did get dragged around with her through it all before he was finally able to join the military. I had hoped he could find a family there that she couldn't take him away from but it didn't go all that well for him either. I wanted to adopt him when we were married but something always "came up" stopping it from happening. Her never planning on staying with me most likely being that reason...
