> I agree with Dinah and Emmaley. I think it is not uncommon for abusive people to be careful to put their best foot forward for a time, but then revert back to their previous behavior. Has *he* said that he has changed?
I've noticed a real change in him and he has admitted to a change. When we ended things, I sent him a few self helf books hoping he would read them. It appears he has but I'm so afraid to get back into a bad situation. He was my best friend and right now I really could use a friend ...or two.
On another note, I'm terrified that he'll find out I'm taking an AD again. Last time I was on them, he insisted that I stop and that meds were for weak people. According to him, he was all I needed. (Yes, he was a controlling person.)
I have such a hard time meeting people (very shy) that's why it's even harder for me to let go of the past.
