[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP with the ex-cop story here.

There's no "love card" to play honestly. When you love/care deeply for someone, it can skew your ability to look at a situation objectively. And when you throw abuse of any kind into the mix, it makes it that much harder to keep a firm grasp on what is "right" or "real."

Anyway it's much too nuanced to get into right now, but OP if you're already coming from a place where you feel emotionally raw or vulnerable or uncertain (and asking if DV is inevitable indicates that you're not on very firm footing when it comes to identifying healthy boundaries), I really think it's best to focus on cultivating nurturing friendships/relationships so you get familiar with what positive dynamics feel like.

I truly hope that doesn't come across as patronizing because it isn't how I intend it at all. It's just that hindsight brings such a sharp focus to experiences I would hate it if anything happened to you that could have been avoided.

My best wishes no matter what you choose.[/quote]

OP here - Doesn't sound patronizing at all. You are probably the person whose advice I trust the most. [/quote]
