					<description><![CDATA[Hi Melanie, I am a newbie here. So pleased I found you last night with my online search for answers. I have been trying to absorb your information. I am a bit all over the place at the moment. There is so much to tell but will try not to ramble.
I have recently split up with my x. I have been in a traumatising roller coaster ride for 4 yrs. I was charmed in the beginning, but it soon turned into a nightmare. He fooled my family &#038; friends. We went from 1 business to another, he never got attached to anything, he was never satisfied, always wanting more, big house, big car. More debt. Had to be the show pony &#038; be the marter. A false face that no one knows whats behind it. In the last year he got worse. Picking a fight to give him an excuse to go out. In amongst this all, I couldn’t understand how he could yell &#038; scream at me, belittle me. He would reverse blame, turning me in a victim. To dodge his wrongs. I always found me defending myself. He is Dr Jekel &#038; Mr Hyde. Out of control drunken episodes. Compulsive lying. The control. He would call me names like a whore, he would accuse me of having an affair, yet he was insanely jealous at the same time, ring &#038; text me constantly if I was not in his presence, and the list goes on &#038; on its endless. His brain is like filing cabinets. He would store any information, then like the poltergeist would throw it all out against me. I used to say to myself, why do I put up with this. I don’t need to be treated like shit. I can deserve to treated with respect. But I felt tied, I felt like I couldn’t get out. I admit now that I also felt I couldn’t do without him. 
Then 8 weeks ago he came home late, drunk. I checked his phone. My heart sank. I started shaking, then I knew deep down. He is having an affair. I confirmed this the next day by printing out his phone account. I immediately confronted him. Of course he denyed it &#038; said he needed to talk to someone about our relationship. More lies. I kept pursuing the issue, cause I knew he wasn’t telling the truth. Lies &#038; more lies. Then he said, Im moving out. He rented for 4 weeks. I found out who she was, wasn’t hard in a small town. Then he went to Fiji for a wks holiday while I was trying to manage our business. Money is no issue to him, he spends way beyond his means. Everything is so horrible &#038; complicated. 2 weeks ago I moved out of our house, I couldn’t wait to get away. Cause he would just burst into the house in a rage &#038; rant, I actually feared for my safety. I couldn’t do the no contact when I left cause there was a business involved. I am now living at my sons house with my 2 little granddaughters in another town. I found out yesterday that its all true, he &#038; her have been together for some time. He rings to tell me that we could never get back together cause he couldn’t face my family or friends after all the lies I told them. You see I always told my family when he abused me. So they all know the truth &#038; he HATED that. Hates being the bad guy when he is the scum. The other night he text me &#038; tell me he loves me, misses me, thinks about me everynight &#038; gets drunk to forget me &#038; he was with her the same night he text me.
He doesn’t know yet that I know the truth, was so tempted when he rang yesterday to say to him what a %^*#(%^&#038;&#038; he is. But I held my tongue..
But right now I feel cheated, empty, betrayed, broken, furious, angry, revengeful, every emotion in my bones hurts. Yet I just want to tell him he is dead to me.
Please help me heal. Where do I start.]]></description>

Hey Marcy,

I realize it&#039;s July and you posted this in May, but it really struck a chord in me. It really sounds to me like you would benefit from trying NARP.  It has been a huge help in my life. I was in an abuse victim role, together 27 years, suicdal, depressed, and finally left her. After taking a chance on Melanie&#039;s healing sessions, it&#039;s like a life do-over or something. I now love myself, and for me, that&#039;s really been the key to unlocking a whole new world. (It&#039;s been a year and a half since we divorced)

The healing sessions are an hour and a half to two hours. At first I managed one or two a week, and I really did get a bit better in the head. When I then really Wanted to get better, was willing to put in the time and effort, for Me, I started doing sessions every day.  The results were just amazing! I am no longer &quot;hooked in&quot; to the abuse, I have found I love myself, and this has been  key to me. Melanie Tonia Evans and NARP has been the best help I have recieved, medically, psychologically, whatever- nothing and nobody has worked like this has for me.  I tell you, it&#039;s like she&#039;s an angel that has come down to help us! It&#039;s amazing, it works, you do get better. You have to put in the work, and do the healing sessions over and over and over, You can recover from the abuse and have a real, and fun life again!
