I wasn't abused growing up at all. I was a very loved child. My dad and my mom ended and then she got with deadbeats. I got spanked but that's different I wasn't abused.

I don't go back to my abusers. They beat me a few times then I just stop seeing them and tell them to stay away from me. With the last guy I hung on for a bit longer because I liked the intimate stuff and I felt really alone. Plus I don't have any friends at work and then at home I'm only around kids and it's nice to have someone to talk to. I'm not stupid just that I was putting up with it because of the good stuff with him not the bad.

Most of my old friends have moved or are busy.

Maybe you weren't abused, but you saw your mom being abused? That can affect how you see men, and the way you believe you should be treated.

You are attracted to that type of guy. Go for guys who normally don't get your attention and attraction.

You are subconsciously attracted to men like your father who was an abusiness animal.

Excuse me??? Think you quoted the wrong post?

I can't see how someone would be attracted to that type of person particularly if you have witnessed it first hand

Stop dating and go to counseling even because one of these men will eventually cross the line and really hurt you.

Not everyone who is abused ends up in an abusive relationship. However, if someone continually ends up with abusers, you can bet he or she came from some kind of abusive environment when growing up.

There is a reason I knew she came from that type of environment, even though I hadn't read the thread at the time I made that post. Things that are particularly traumatic for a person in childhood are almost always acted out in adulthood in some form.
