Re: I need help controlling myself, please!!!!!

I really want to forgive him.
I have always forgiven people in my life because I believe people deserve to be forgiven NO MATTER WHAT THEY Do, I believe not forgiving is evil and no good comes out of it.
But this time I actually want to forgive for the peace of my mind. By not forgiving and forgetting, I am hurting myself and no one else.
Okay I have this "problem". Many times I suddenly remember what someone did to me in past (even something that was done years ago) and I will suddenly get very very angry remembering those things. Trust me I do not want to remember them because I am the one who suffers after remembering them. I don't know why this happens.
My father was an alcoholic and a man whore. And mom was a loser who neglected me to please him.
My parents abused me a lot emotionally and physically. I was abused verbally and physically just for forgetting little tiny tasks (what kid doesn't forget?). They did many more horrible things to me and my brother. Fucking child abusers!!!!!!!
I really lashed out at my mom to tell her how I felt because of what they both did to me and my brother. She now realises what they did to us and regrets it.
But I still forgive her.

I admit there are occasional moments when I want there to be a day where my ex calls me, begs me, cries for me and tells me what a horrible thing he did.
But what I truly want is a day where the thought of him does not cross my mind even once. I am waiting for that day when I don't care about him and I don't think about him, not to get back at him, but for my peace of mind and happiness.

Re: I need help controlling myself, please!!!!!

I am queen, 
I agree with you. Who the fuck do these people think they are to do anything they want to their partners and expect them to just take it?
I have done that to a friend of mine who offended me once. I was quiet for a few years and then one fine day, out of blue, I just lashed out horribly (I stood up for myself), he was utterly shocked and felt offended by that but then he stopped replying. A year later we spoke and he said that he stopped replying because he realised what a horrible thing he did and he apologised for that. He said that he thought about it, that if I was reacting with so much anger, then it must be something very bad and he found his actions horrible too.

I had a friend once who insulted women in general once by saying something very offensive about women. I was too young and I didn't say anything at that time. Then after three years I called him up and verbally abused the fuck out f him for verbally abusing women. I called him a man slut, man whore, gigolo. He apologised saying he knew he made a mistake, we stopped talking and after many months, out of blue he apologised again.

But I am unsure here. You see when I say I want to protect my reputation, I wasn't talking about impressing him, what I actually want to say is what aligemini said. I sometimes think, me lashing out right now will only convince that piece of shit that he made the right decision. Also I might regret lashing out later. That happens. We burst out but then we regret. But don't you think I should at some point some day? And yes, standing up for ourselves is one of the bravest things we can do.

Re: I need help controlling myself, please!!!!!

I wouldn't call myself a victim. I refuse to play a victim. I do not in anyway appreciate the victim mentality.

I do agree when some of you say that we attract these things to ourselves. If we attracted the negative, we can attract the positive too. I really do understand that it's our thoughts that attract such situations. And I admit that this is the result of my thinking I had in past a few years before I met my ex. That's what made me realise that yes I attracted this situation even if I thought like that few years ago. What we think turns into reality. It may not happen immediately, it may take a few years but it does.
But are we to say that these people are in no way responsible for what happens?
If that's the case then let's set all the rapists (male as well as female) free. Let's set all the pedophiles free.
Why kill Ted Bundy? Why kill Jefery Dahmer? Why kill Aileen Wournos?
I agree that it is upto us to decide whether we give the power to someone to hurt us or not is upto us.
To be hurt or not is upto me. Sure other can hurt me but whether I want to take the hurt or not is my decision.
But are we going to say that if I stab you and you bleed, it's your fault? That if it leaves a physical and emotional scar it's your fault? Same goes for emotional attacks too.

Re: I need help controlling myself, please!!!!!

Since many days this has been happening to me. I get sudden urges to call him and lash out. And being an impulsive person, only I know how I am controlling myself.
Last night I had an urge stronger than usual and I thought I might end up doing a mistake by either calling him or by not calling him that's why I posted it here. I really needed someone to stop me from calling him if it is a bad decision. And stop me from not calling if it's a bad decision too.
I really needed that help.

You see these pieces of shit do not understand what we go through and why we lash out. They just blame us again and think they did the right thing by leaving us because they are so selfish that they expect us to understand them while we go through so much pain yet they refuse to understand us.

I could have shared this with my mom but being emotionally attached to me she would have told me to do it or done it herself.

I made the right decision by posting here because people here are neutral and hence answer more rationally. Also you people have experience in certain things, hence you people speak from those experiences too and that helps me.

The fact that u wanna lash out shows he's done something so big to have hurt u this bad !! And another thing is when he's done something so bad still I'm sure u put up with it for a very long time until u couldn't anymore so if u can put up with that for so long he sure SHOULD PUT UP WITH YOU VENTING OUT !! 😊

Re: I need help controlling myself, please!!!!!

You might really regret venting on him later, so suggest you try writing him the letter now since this issue is weighing heavily on you.. and / or use PW to communicate with him. Try it and see how you feel afterwards.
If you havent tried the scripting challenge yet i recommend that too.

Re: I need help controlling myself, please!!!!!

I am a queen, 
that's what I believe too. Few days before the break up, during the break up and after it, he treated me badly.
If he thinks he has the right to do that and I should take it, then he should be prepared to whatever I say to him and whatever way I treat him!!!!

If you think you have the right for whatever reasons to kick someone below the belt, be prepared to be kicked back!!!!
No matter what mental and physical condition you were in when you kicked them (except self defense).
And this sack of shit man whore had no right to do that and he definitely didn't do it in self defense.

The regret of venting out now (to show him that I am not some weak girl who takes shit and to make him realise what I did) is what is holding me back so far.
That regret is the reason why I haven't vented out yet.

Re: I need help controlling myself, please!!!!!

Hey Aphrodite11,

This is very good that you do not want to consciously choose the victimhood path, and are doing your best to steer clear of that.

I understand your pain, and I by no means wish to play it down or invalidate it, but I think comparing your ex (fault wise) to murderers is going a bit too far. I know he hurt you - but unless he actually physically abused you I would not put him in with that group.

He might be immature and have his own shit going, but he is not responsible for anyone`s attachment to him. And I hope you will see it as an empowering thing, because that is the only way I mean it!!! To me it means NO ONE controls your feelings.
All the "teachers" like Bashar, Abraham and such have said it many times over, that freeing anyone who wronged you of blame does not equal letting them off the hook and letting them go. You only free yourself up - also of the guilt, which is just a distortion. (God/universe/or whatever seems comftb to you) does not judge you. We judge ourselves.

You might incorporate some form of punishment as a way of retribution to victims/protecting other people, but the ones that are forced by court (for murder, theft, etc) don`t usually go with actual regret on the part of the perpetrator - unless they magically develop empathy and sympathy ASAP. And this is what I think you ultimately want from your man, a HEARTFELT apology. And for it to be heartfelt - I think it cannot be forced...

And just my own 5 cents - I really dont think venting to him is going to make him regret what he has done and say what you wanna hear. People don`t react well to aggressive force (emotional, or physical) and usually it pushes them further into defensive/aggressive state. If I were in your shoes (and I am in a way, as I am in a similar place, like most of us here) I would just "walk away", meaning cut contact, lest the mental contact. If he ever gets ready to ask for your forgiveness then you can tell him openly all the ways in which he has hurt you. Otherwise I think it will fall on deaf ears.

Tell him that in your mind for now.


And as a last note - I am sending you a big hug!!! I know how very tough it gets sometimes, and I truly think that all our attempts to heal ourselves and our relationships and take control of our emotions are deserving of massive respect!!!!!

Re: I need help controlling myself, please!!!!!

I cried suddenly today morning when i had the memory of the night he broke up with me.
I was crying and he quickly fell asleep right after breaking up with me. What a pleasure it must have been for him!!!!

I will definitely vent out someday. I will do it when the time is right.

But till then I will follow the advices you girls have given. 
I need to do this for myself. I am waiting for that day when I won't think of him even once in 24 hours, not for him but for ME.
I hope I will be fine one day. One day I just won't give a fuck!!!!

A few days after the break up I was talking to God and I just said one thing "Give me the strength to deal with all this pain I am going through" I actually asked for it. And I found it. I am glad I haven't gone utterly bonkers. Ask and you shall receive. I received.

Thank you all for guiding me!!!!
