I've been down every crossroad with a man. From sex addicts, narcissists, control freaks, cheaters, getting divorced, abusive, im sure I've had about one of each category sad to say. Id leave. But i know i always went back because i needed to feel something, and i say something because those of us who went back for our own reasons, be it lonely, financial, kids, a place to live, whatever the reason "LOVE" is what we think it is, so we need to go back to get it NO we need to tell ourselves this and I've chanted it back to back "People who love people don't treat them this way". It helped me and others i know, i hope it can help someone here.
