Your compassion and warmth are beautiful! I am so happy to be free and have no contact with him. Yes, intimacy and sex: should be passionate and spiritual, soul connected experience. I agree with you. I despise how women have been devalued and dehumanized. We are all stronger when we know our strength and value; and relationships are stronger when we have that foundation.

Yes, exactly: he is narcissistic and sadistic.

"I hope you know you are worth so much more,": love this! I am focusing on caring for me and building my life, getting rooted in my identity (who I am). I too hope you know your value and worth!

You will have a beautiful loving relationship. Thank you so much for reading, connecting and for following too!
