I found this forum searching for how to deal with loneliness. And it seems like this could be a safe place where I can vent my feelings, look for encouragement, and help other people who are in a similar situation as me. I had a tough childhood, my parents were both abusive and I married a woman for 17 years who was very similar to my parents.

After going through years of therapy, I finally learned that I am valuable! And I deserve to be loved! Now the question is, how the hell do I go about doing that? So, here i am! Scared to death to reach out, but I know I am worth much more than the abuse I allowed myself to take

Hey rprose0813! The journey of recovery from abuse can have many different legs! You're learning to be ok with yourself, your feelings, responses, your strengths and weaknesses. And you're brave to be getting used to feeling vulnerable; showing that vulnerability but still being proud of who you are - and what you've survived! You go for it, fella!
