BOOK EXCERPT
(Chapter 7-When Loving You Is
Killing Me)
When one embarks on the
adventure of a blissful relationship, they don’t expect to
be severely injured by the one they love. Yes, they
understand hurtful words might be exchanged or grudges
might be held periodically. But, these unpleasant times
subside with open communication and sincere apologies.
However, when the repeated offenses of emotional abuse,
mental torment, verbal assaults, and even physical attacks
are projected onto them, these devastating common
occurrences-interwoven within the desire to be
loved-slowly erase the core of whom you are. Your normal
needs become manipulated by the emotional dysfunction of
another. At this point, they exchange their infatuation
for your love. Here, their intentions are revealed as they
disclosed their misunderstanding of love, a
misunderstanding rooted in believing that hurting the ones
they care for means they love them. Therefore, they
manipulate you with this train of thought. Now, you find
yourself emotionally damaged, mentally depleted, and
possibly physically wounded all in an effort to love.
Within a short span of time, you have been taught that
healthy love is abnormal and unhealthy love is normal.
Therefore, your selfless acts of compassion, unconditional
love, and forgiving nature were rejected. I call this
“when loving you is killing me”p.89.
