It is hard to stop caring--to stop loving, to stop rescuing and to stop believing that they are now "cured." Of course your heart is broken, of course you feel compassion for him. You pledged your life to him. But he is banking on your compassion and tender heart and he will use it against you if given the opportunity. I'm glad you stopped by!

He has been there for just over a year and still has me captive. He still is "grooming" me for his release in 4 yrs. He had almost convinced me of his "rehabilitation" his healing. He has been promising me how he is looking forward to this and that. It breaks my heart because I still have this compassionate heart. I still have this heart that does not want to hurt anyone. Thank you for waking me up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
