So, I said, I have to take myself out of this game. Over 20 years later and I still have not figured out how to reclaim my power. So I've entered into a lot of relationships like this as evidenced by my last two relationships. It put me in the position of "my body is not my body" and saying "no" to a man brings me back to this place of why fight it, it will happen regardless.

Any protest on my part was met with belts, curses and fists. When I was 15, my mother let her boyfriend have sex with me. Realizing that I've been making the same relationship mistakes and choosing the same "type" of person brought me to number 2-time to work on my self-development and my unresolved issues and past traumas. We lasted 8 months and really 6 of those was just passing time waiting for him to call it quits.

I thought with this person being 8 years older than I, that he'd be in a different space than the previous fella. So I became celibate again for another year and met someone. We lasted 6 months and he moved away with no concern or consideration for me or what we were doing. Back to number 1-I was celibate a few years ago for a year and began dating someone. This year is all about me and my self-development. I decided to become celibate after my last relationship. I was excited about this book when it came across my Facebook feed for 2 reasons. I ran through it in my head and it was too much to remember and I always have these great things to say but trick myself into thinking I will recall and be able to bring it up later. When I completed this book I was ready to write my review.
