Damaged Goods...
Nothing is more damaging to a new truth than an old error. I wanted to believe that when a person comes out of a bad relationship one could go into another one without the excess baggage..But that is not true. People need time to heal, weather it is physical or mental abuse going on in the marriage or relationship..I found that If you haven't gotten over it, chances of you getting into a new relationship without problems will be totally impossible. Everything that has gone wrong with the relationship will be your fault..How much time is needed? I gave myself about a few years..Because I was an angry woman.. I had to forgive..the wounds still felt fresh. I didn't want to date anybody with the attitude that I had..The best feelings in your life come when you start feeling good after you've been feeling just awful..We put up this protective wall not letting nothing in..But while we are blocking everything we are blocking the joy we could have..Its ok to learn from the past.
