All the Lies and Pain
October 3rd, 2007 Posted in Misc.Everything he told me was a lie. He said he wasn’t going to see anyone else and wasn’t trying to, but the reality was he already had someone. How do you tell someone that and lead them on? I can’t stop thinking about all the things he lied to me about and I can’t figure out why. Why did I deserve to be lied to about everything? About his trips, about us working it out, about there being someone else, about missing me… why?
Do you have any idea what it feels like to try to sleep every night and you can’t because he is in your dreams and in your nightmares. Do have any idea how it feels to want to stop crying but you can’t. Do you know how it feels to be so empty inside and know that the love you shared that you thought was true was nothing but a farce? I can’t even function because the one person I trusted and gave my all too did this to me. I’m down to 129 pounds because I can’t even eat without feeling like throwing up. I pray every night that I don’t wake up in the morning so that I don’t have to face another day of this heartache and hurt. And then I do wake up and have to force myself to get into the shower and get dressed even though I don’t want to. I went to the doctor today to get meds to help me through this. He told me it’s not going to make me numb, but that’s what I want to be. I don’t want to feel anything. I want this asshole out of my head and I want to erase 6 years and pretend he never existed. How do you do that? How do you recover from something like this? I just lost the person I thought was my best friend; the person I talked to every day for 6 years. Now he’s gone and I can’t even ever talk to him again. I thought I had finally found someone who was truly wonderful and who truly loved me. It was all a lie. I don’t understand what kind of person does this to someone. I feel so alone and so ashamed for letting myself be so vulnerable. I am sick to my stomach over this. Why did I have to suffer for being depressed in last year? Isn’t the person you love supposed to be there for you during the worst of times? Instead, he was more concerned he “wasn’t getting any” and ran off into the arms of another woman. If he wasn’t planning to give me a chance, then why did he say we would work on things and see where they go. Why not just let me go? And now I am stuck in a web of pain and sorrow that’s so deep, I can’t find my way out. God sent temptation to test him and David failed. I guess I should be thankful that it happened before I married him, but I am still hurt. We’ve only been broke up for 2 months and it feels like just yesterday that my parents showed up to tell me because he was too much of a coward to do it himself. How do you hate someone you love so much? Because I do… I hate him for this, but I can’t make the love go away, and I want it gone. This is the thanks I get for being honest and faithful and giving all of my heart. I want a life of happiness back. I want to meet someone that will love me and hold me and tell me it will be okay; someone who is honest and doesn’t hide things. That’s all I have ever wanted. God, please send him to me. I’m begging, because I can’t take much more of this.

Girlfriend, you didn’t deserve any of this and although it doesn’t seem like it now – you will recover. From your description, I believe him to be a complete SOCIOPATH and you are just one of his unfortunate victims. I know you are tough enough to get through the pain and you will be even stonger on the other side. Don’t let him continue to victimize and damage you. Don’t ever let a man define who you are. It sounds like a cliche, but time will heal your heart and before long you will be in a much less dark and scary place. You’re in my thoughts, Erin, and I’m here (along with so many others who love you) to give you my support.

He may be a Sociopath, but he is a psychopath by definition as well Lisa.
Definition:
A condition characterized by lack of empathy or conscience, and poor impulse control or manipulative behaviors.
Yep, that about sums him up! I am just relieved my daughter no longer is subjected to his manipulative behaviors.
One step at a time Erin… today you got some medication to help you get over the grief… tomorrow take another step to find your happiness without him. Take Lisa’s words into consideration… she is wise. “Don’t let this man define who you are or damage you.” ) I love this woman!!!

I love you too E. Hang in there sweet girl. You are stronger than you give yourself credit for.

Also with psycopathic behavior you have deceitful, abusive, and often fraudulent behaviour. David has demonstrated ALL those behaviors as well. Why is Erin the one in counseling and not him?

Let’s all just let it go…
Breathe in, Breathe out and move on…

I guess I should have said “once an amphibian, always an amphibian,” but for some reason I had reptile on my mind. Anyway, I’m pretty sure you could follow the metaphor. = )

Just focus on you E. I know you are in pain. But, you are not ready for another. David came along when you were getting over Jason and another man is not the answer right now. Work on you. Work on yourself. When you are ready again, you’ll find someone.
