In healthy relationships all people respect one another’s views.
The is no slavery in love.
There is no domineering love relationship. Both people want to hear what the other has to offer in any conversation. Love and respect brings forth fast apologies and just as fast forgiveness.

Love is like that.
Love is like that.
If someone holds some form of control or power over someone else and enforces this power, this is not love – this is not love from a caring heart and soul.
For various reasons a person can find ways to convince themself that the person that they love (partner, mother and father etc) is hard on them because they care, or because they love them so, or because they are unworthy of anything better. But this is living a lie.
We are all worthy of a new beginning and a chance at a life of freedom.
Any form of control, bullying, slavery, power over a person is signs of an unhealthy relationship that will only bring misery in the future.
The only escape is to realize that something is wrong, face the fact that you are being abused and manipulated by someone you love, and get away from the power controller.

Why must you get away?
Because under that person’s guidance you cannot gain self confidence and courage because they have an illness that they cannot stop themselves from using on you.
You can love them, you can trust the promises of change that they make, but they won’t keep them, they can’t help themselves.
You have to get tough on yourself and stand up to the controller. Then no matter what they say to you, you must now get away. If you don’t life will just continue to be miserable for you and you will never get the chance to grow in confidence or courage because they guide your life.
You must guide your own life. That is being free. That is what we are born to experience, freedom to choose, freedom to live your own way, freedom to form your own views, freedom from tyranny.
