Thank you for taking the time to reply to her post @rashia, I appreciate it :) you give great insight from your point of view and experience about love and that's valuable.

Basically, the entire situation really made me question my self-worth and how much I love myself and I hate that I gave someone else so much power over me. I have forgiven him but hopefully, through writing, I can learn to forgive myself.

I agree with her, sometimes to forgive ourselves is much harder than to forgive someone who hurt us. Good day, my friend :)
