bringing up my self esteem

[kcd78]

all of my life i have had to struggle with the fact that i have been the fat kid.  as i begin high school i found a group of friends that saw me for who i am and not for what i looked like but as we got older we grew apart and i found that i was once again all alone.  i have a husband but he doesn't say the little things that make a woman feel like a woman. he even has the nerve to talk about my weight when we are in an argument or worse he calls me ugly.  and i hate that i mean it is bad enough when people that i don;t know do it but is worse when the person that i chose to spend the rest of my life with has decided to just go out and make a fool of me by saying things that really and truly hurt me.  I like to think that i am a strong woman, but there is one person that always makes me feel weak and so ugly and so undeserving of life.....why do i keep letting him do this to me?  i mean how strong is love anyway?

May. 8, 2008 at 10:50 PM You know, my hubby went through a period of being quite mentally abusive.  I talked to him about it and told him how much it hurt me.    He's not the kind to say the things a woman wants to hear either.  But, it got to him because I was honest and told him that I was starting to not like him because of the things that he said to me.  Stay strong!
