Hey girlies, let me just start off by saying I’m trying to make this year and every year after a happy and positive year. When I was in high school, I dated this guy for 4 years and he really made me miserable, I wasn’t happy like I made myself look for friends and family. He would get into my head and make it seem like people he didn’t like were the bad guys and would have me basically fight battles for him. I would start so much stuff with people who didn’t deserve it all because I was so blinded by him and because he was so manipulative. If I didn’t do what he wanted me to do he would start arguments with me, yell at me and when I would try to stand up for myself he would threaten to kill himself and make me feel bad. I finally broke up with him and I just want to start fresh with everyone I was rude to because of him. I want them to know that it isn’t who I really am and I’m really a good person, I just wasn’t in the right state of mind with who was controlling me. I know people may say that a boyfriend isn’t an excuse to treat people poorly, but you didn’t know what it was really like being in that relationship and being scared to stick up for myself. He was really abusive emotionally and mentally.
