Back on dry land and a horrible abusive situation in Nantucket
Hi everyone. Well, I had quite a journey of escape over the past weekend to get off of Nantucket island and away once and for all from my EX fiance. What I thought was my soulmate was simply a man using a woman, demeaning her in every way, taking control of everything including holding all the debit cards, phones, finances, even my income tax return. we went to nantucket to build a life together, so i thought, but it was really so he could get me islolated away from everyone and everything. He even limited and monitored my computer usage and we 'shared' a cell phone that he never let me talk on. The only horrible thing he didin't do to me wa**** me with his fists but mental, emotional, and verbal torture i think may be worse (my exhusband was the same way as this guy). I am safe with a realtive now and today I start an intensive 5 day a week outpatient mental health program to help me get over this. It is local and from 9-3 every day. The healing starts now.
I am back though and have a plan!!! I got laid off from my job in nantucket last monday and will be able to collect unemployment. I am taking this opportunity to go back to college (once I'm more stable) and begin my dream of becoming a nurse. I have a lot of old baggage that hasn't been completely worked out yet either, stemming back from being physically and verbally abused by an alcholic father and now its time to break the chain of abuse. I have my two sister kitties that I took with me on the journey home.
Please pray for me because I know this is not going to be easy. I will emerge stronger and healthier than ever though its just going to take some time.

Sorry you had to go through this and glad you escaped. One piece of advice from my therapist, you need therapy to recognize and work through your issues or will will choose the same sort of person again. When you are done with your program continue seeing someone till you can truly recognize that personality. Good luck and much success .
