Great points Yael. Why is everything such a big deal to us? OH well... maybe because we have to work so hard to protect and defend ourselves from so many heartless people who demean, devalue and disregard us!!!

This guy sounds like my ex who is abusive, a narcissist and psychopath. I can see the behaviors. Cold and cruel. I am so sad you experienced this and that he violated you.

I am so grateful that you are sharing your experience. It is only by speaking and connecting with each other that we can become stronger and more courageous in guarding our value, worth and boundaries.
