When you’ve finally admit to yourself

Ladies, when you’ve finally admitted to yourself that you are being controlled by someone, how did you handle it?

Did you recognize issues within yourself that may caused this person to be controlling sometimes? What did you do to change? Did it work?

How long did it take to you realize, yes you have your own issues, but that your always the one who get blamed?

If you could go back in time what would you do differently?

I have more questions but these are the only few I can think of. I’d like to hear your stories...
