    “it means once the relationship has ended, that you don’t go ’looking’ for ’answers’ anywhere but inside yourself. ”

    I did go on an epic “Quest for Truth” when I finally caught my ex lying in August. I can’t regret doing it. I would have gone back if I hadn’t. I do regret the craziness I displayed to a couple of people when I discovered the scope of his duplicity. I was out of my mind with grief.

    I did that too DawnG. I think though Duped means to say not to keep tabs on the spath of what he’s doing after the separation 🙂

    DawnG: I was trapped in this living hell for five years.
    They said the abuse I have taken from “IT”, including death threats, directly or indirectly…equals to that of a hostage in
    a long state of capture. And, I can see that is what it truly was.

    I was being dominated and controlled by a psychopath in every sense of the word. This is my second year in quest for the truths. I am almost there now. There IS life after spath. It was only a momentary case of ‘spath flu’. 🙂

    Best of wishes and prayers to you DawnG…
    We understand and care here…

    Dupey

    Hey there Dupey Do..
    DawnG – I did that ‘Quest for truth” over and over, I would find the truth and then he would convince me I was crazy, so I had to prove myself sane again, rinse and repeat, I found LF and my sanity here or I too would still be caught in his perfect storm.

    Back dooring means that you are not in DIRECT contact with the X spath, but you are trying to find out info about them in other ways or still perhaps hanging out with their friends…all back door ways of still having contact without having direct contact with the X spath.

    I don’t think I could have gotten through my ordeal without the pets. If you haven’t seen the pet photos, they are here:

    Donna-those pics are cute. What are the other animals that you have besides the dog? One looks like a ferret but the other looks like a giant mouse with a big fluffy tail like a racoon. Getting my cat has made my recent situation totally tolerable. Once I came home with him the ball started rolling and I got my job.
