ORIGINAL: CorsetMinx What I do want to throw out there to all the other subs/slaves who have lived through betrayal, hypocrisy and abuse from a Dom, is this: How did you move forward and let go of the pain, the confusion, the anger? And how did you get over still feeling emotionally attached/in love with the person who hurt you? Finally, how long did it take you to trust a man/Dom again - or to trust yourself and your own judgement/intuition? I had an almost exact anger experience a year and some months ago, over the same issue. Although, I knew him so very well I could tell exactly when he was being a liar and how he was being an hypocrit, even though he would still deny his mistakes and the truth behind it. The anger is so overwhelming and impulsive... in reality you lose complete sanity for a short period of time, until you are no longer in the same room, breathing the same air. It almost feels like pulling you're hair may pull the bitter memories away. So, instead of pulling your hair, you scream, you kick, you punch... you do whatever it takes to release that insanity. A few months later, it's almost impossible to remember in detail what exactly did you say or how exactly did you move. I try to remember what was my own reaction nowadays... I think I insulted him and probably tried to punch him in the stomach... I do remember I thought of slapping him... but I didn't dare, and controlled my hands. How did you move forward and let go of the pain, the confusion, the anger? Honestly, I haven't been able to remove the anger 100% yet. The memories are still there, hence the depth of the wounds and the fact that I still discover new things about him, accidentally, that reveal more betrayals. Only after being tested by a psychiatrist (which revealed I have severe depression as long as I live), and therapy I could ease the pain and the confusion. And how did you get over still feeling emotionally attached/in love with the person who hurt you? Again, only after therapy... and the always helpful mental excersise of remember horrible details in his personality and aspects that you didn't like in the first place. Finally, how long did it take you to trust a man/Dom again - or to trust yourself and your own judgement/intuition? I have always trust my judgment and intuition (sadly, that's how I know when I'm being lied to). But I haven't being able to restore my trust enough to look for a Dom again. Hence, I'm happy with my kinky vanilla boyfriend. This is my own experience on the very same issue. As you can see, it takes more than just two months and lots of therapy, even if you feel you're moving on... Right now you're in an emotional cycle. You can feel great today, but I assure you, the memories will be back and you might end up depressed. Get help, it's important. Good luck.
