i've read the whole thread, and would like to offer a few thoughts and suggestions, if i may. For me, uncontrolled anger directed at me in such a way that it sets me up to fail is something i definitely want to discuss as i'm getting to know a new Owner. And as others have said, it can definitely be a red flag - and would cause me to seriously consider if he is right for me as an Owner, or not. You're beating yourself up so much for not hearing him and responding correctly, but it sounds to me as if your Dom was perhaps just waiting for anything you would say that he could use to enact this "vandetta" against your "princess" nature. i'm not sure why he had to use anger and harsh words to take you there and take you down to where you feel so horrible about yourself - especially over the cam/phone - this is emotional sadism, and i'm not sure that you're into that, or even ready for it yet. And it sure doesn't sound to me as if he discussed anything with you - which he doesn't have to, he has the right not to, but when it is your emotional state that he's working with it is so important that you feel "safe" with him emotionally, which is something he needs to address. i have never seen a D/s relationship succeed where the girl is made to feel over and over again that she has failed, and let him down, and that she needs to "work harder" to "earn" her place with him. It is a negative cycle, and it is human nature to at some point, either collapse from within into depression and low self-esteem, or just give up and walk away from the relationship all together. i understand that he says that he wants to bring out the "slave" in you, but as others mentioned you guys haven't discussed that, you're fairly new, and you need communication and understanding of what it takes to "go there" as a slave and still be mentally and emotionally healthy - and it is a long and slow process, not just being yelled at and forced to be on your knees for an hour. All this said, now that it is the light of day and hopefully you've had some rest and a hot shower, my one and only suggestion is to talk with him. None of us here are inside your Dom's head, and all we can go off of is what we've read here from what you're feeling, and experiencing. i encourage you to be balanced and calm when you talk with him, seeking information and give him information - say things like "when i was on my knees for that hour last night, i felt ashamed, and humiliated. i was so sad that i displeased you. The physical pain was more than i felt i could endure," and so forth. Try not to lose your emotional composure or ask questions like "Why did you do this to me??" because that won't help either of you. Ask him directly what his goal was for you to learn from the exercise - what is it that he's trying to teach you, or integrate? This is fine because he's trying to teach you something, so your desire to learn is good. And if his goal was that it was simply for his fun and amusement to hurt you, and watch you struggle, he should say so, but if this whole thing was just for his fun and amusement i would make sure he knew how it affected you. Why? Because in the future you're going to continue to be scared of what he wants you to do, and you're going to fail and resist (it's human nature) and you could very well just wind up in a cycle of repeated failure - again, not healthy. Be gentle with yourself and know that you are not a failure - if you are doing your absolute best to be pleasing and serve him, and are communicating openly and honestly with him, and are learning from your mistakes, you are a success. Eliminate "I'm sorry" from your vocabulary - unless you have intentionally done something that has hurt or damaged him in some way, you have nothing to be sorry about. Instead say "Thank you Sir for teaching me, I'm learning, and I will do better/work harder/listen more/etc. next time." And then ultimately decide if you can continue to serve him - or not. It is your choice, and asking to end a relationship that is uhealthy for you is again, not a failure - it just means you will be a better "fit" serving someone else. Feel free to message me on the other side as well - my profile is turned off right now as i'm moving forward with a new Owner, but i will send you a note so you can reach me. No need to respond unless i can help - but i'm always here to help. [:)] Big hugs sweetie, julie edited to clarify a point
