I was always a good person ,ready to get out there to help others. I needed something to do when my kids all left home. he wouldn't let me. I agreed because he made me feel like i can't do anything without him in my life.He made me feel like I'm nothing, and I trying so hard to get it back, my self esteem. I have a safe place, it's in my bedroom. I go there to hide from the world. I do have a Minister to talk to but he can't heal my heart, or bring back my self esteem.
