Kim's Journal

Mental Rape

Hello, I'm Kim. On the upside of 40, I found an entire other world spinning out there. I've been married and divorced. Now currently separated. I have been a single parent for a decade or more in my past. I am educated but no PHD, street smart, personable and have always had a way with people until my path crossed that of the one I called "Me King."

Never had I been so taken. He made my eyes light up and my heart beat faster. Just what we all search and pray for in our lives. I knew I had found my contentment.

That self-perceived contentment that spun into confusion left me no more than a dishevelled pile of parts. It is the whirlwind of Mental Rape that I deal with now that arrived through the guise of love. Brought about by abuse, I feel through Narcissism. It rolled over me while I was searching for answers to why so many odd occurrences left my gut empty, when I felt I had found such bliss. This is what I need to address.

If you've faced similar circumstances or just want to comment on my journal, feel free to post on my bulletin board.

The rest of the story........ What I've learned through this last few years is many faceted. I've learned that few present themselves as they truly are. Some due to a perception problem, some because they feel a need to be more then they are. Maybe some of you became adults knowing that, I didn't. I know now that me King was partially right on one thing, many people only do something for the return. As for the relationship I had with him? I'm not going to beat that dead horse. I do wish his lovely wife my very best, she knows that. And her knowledge of that is all that is necessary. I've passed my loneliness. I'm quite pleased to have me. I'm healthier and happier then I have been in years. As for some of your comments? I can only hope that those of you who chose to taunt slept well. I expected comments, even comments I didn't care to hear. But that's life. Those I wanted to respond to I did privately, you know who you are. What I noticed is my posters are limited to people that entered my life during this period of my life, with the exception of one. I'm disappointed that the human race is so petty. But it appears that by being kind it gets you nowhere. So what I find I need to do is be more like the rest of the world. Go after what I want, rather then wait for my turn. It's difficult to put yourself first when you've spent years being the support system. Its time to be My support system. So yes if taking care of me and mine is selfish, so be it. I know I can look in the mirror at my soul and still like the reflection.
