A true story

After years of physical, emotional, mental, and financial abuse I am still struggling to survive. I not only was abused by my ex- Rusty who could be as nice as can be until he was under the influence. I was also the strong one who never did any type of drugs or alcohol. However, not only did he abuse me he always and I do mean always had to involve his mother in our disagreements.

I was approved for buying a house, but his family especially his mother did everything to destroy me. When you are in that type of relationship it is hard to get out of it. The emotional distress you go that you endure makes you afraid to be on your own and they make you feel as if can’t survive on your own.

In actual reality, he is the one that could never make it on his own because he was taught to get involved with women who had money so that they could take care of him. He made as well as makes them believe that he loves them, when all he wants is a safe place to live. He lies about how much money he is making when he makes $20,000 and less.

He never smoked with the exception of when he was using or drinking, I was probably the only woman who never did nor had the desire to do that. If you look at a few of the pictures and I mean really study his factual features and gestures you will see, be able to tell that he does not love himself, so all he knows is to latch onto someone of his mothers’ choosing to take care of him when she is gone.
