if im reading the OP right, youre afraid of repeating history within a lifestyle that talks openly and randomly about 'abuse' as a descriptive of what we do. lamb to the slaughter and all that. couldnt be further from the truth., but..., you have to be aware of what you are ready to accept to start with. maybe it would be a help for me to share the things that would be a trigger for me due to past abuse: * being slapped around the face * play rape * being pushed, kicked, punched * hands around my throat those are my triggers and i will always mention them as places we just cant go to. as for the feeling that youll inevitably land up in an abusive relationship here too. it isnt so. it hasnt happened to me. i can honestly say that all of my vanilla relationships were abusive, either emotionally, physically or psychologically but i believe that a great part of that abuse was due to the fact that my submissive nature was misenterpreted as 'doormat' - respect and understanding of my personality type failed to register with them, it ended up with the men thinking i was an easy push around. here the guys want you to be who you are, theyll understand you and support youre problems. but, there are abusers lurking everywhere. its down to you to be discriminating. instead of being pessimistic about this, have faith and belief in youreself that history will not repeat itself here. be choosy, be careful, relax and enjoy youreself. if youre lucky and find a safe pair of hands all of this will seem a long long time ago.

I have known some subs who had previously entered into abusive relationships because they were seeking to get their pain needs met and did not know there was a way to have their masochism fulfilled inside of a healthy relationship. Is this you? Are you in need of pain play? Because if so, perhaps that is why you chose such relationships in the past.

The only abusive relationship I have ever experienced was with my exMaster that I ended a few years ago. It was suggested that I go to counseling to "deprogram".....I went for a few months and it seemed all I did was ventilate and talk of the relationship, and how i felt, but no direction or steps offered to get out of my "funk" were offered. I also attended a victim of domestic violence group that was mandated by the court. I have to say, that group helped me more than any therapist could. I had no idea how under his control I still was and how, even after some pretty hideous times, that I felt the need to defend and almost protect him. I stayed out of relationships for a long time to sort things out in my head. The greatest lesson I was given there was the signs of an abusive person, and I must admit, that it has already guided me in meeting others. I may have fallen into a similar trap had it not been for that group. I urge anyone who has had any form of abuse to attend that type of group near you. It is a real learning experience, and so helpful. Here I am a few years later.....knowing who I am, what I seek, and realizing that I am a submissive....it is a part of me that no one will ever take advantage of, and with the knowledge of knowing now, the telltale signs of a controlling, manipulating, abusive person. Its amazing how you can have your life so together, and get caught up in such a web without realizing it. I may have gone back to him if it had not been for that group. They helped in more ways than I mention here.

Sorry to hear about this subangi but does your ex really deserve the title of Master?

quote: ORIGINAL: happylittlepet After abuse there are often boundary issues where it is not clear what one wants for oneself and what one is willing to do to please someone else. A D/s or M/s relationship is based on that desire of the s to please the dominant partner. This is why it is so easy for a victim of abuse to be revictimized if this is not understood. If one is lucky enough to find a partner who is willing to work out those boundary problems, this will lead to greater trust and understanding. One can work part of this out by oneself, but actually practicing it is a totally different ball game. Then, as I said, she should be refraining from any relationship, if she is incapable from keeping herself and her emotions in check. Trying to sidestep into a short-term lease on a vanilla relationship isn't going to do anything but create more issues. What is she going to tell this potential partner? "Well, see...I want a D/s relationship but don't think I'm ready for one now, so I'm renting you as a partner until I feel better about the events in my past and can move on to someone I'd actually be more compatible with."? Unless someone is actively willing to play her therapeutic partner for a short period of time or unless she is lying by omission about this being the case, I don't see how this does her any good. And while a vanilla relationship may indeed be less likely to offer up instances of physical play that could trigger memories, her predisposition to want to "please someone else" is no less dangerous in a vanilla situation than a D/s one.

Get to know and meet some established couples. Get an impression of how their dynamic works without getting involved. That way, you'll have more of an idea of what it's about. More realistic expectations. And if you still find it interesting, you can look around for someone that's compatible with you and the two of you can give it a shot, slowly. As for whether there's any relationship to the abuse, I couldn't say. In fact, while a lot of people will have opinions on that, there's probably noone out there that has any solid grounds for commenting one way or the other. I would briefly speculate that a predator is good at spotting prey, and that prey is rarely good at getting rid of predators. Some of us have some of the instincts of the predator, coupled with empathy and the instincts of the protector. As DarkSteven pointed out, intentions matter. And if the intentions are good, I see no reason to care whether your desires are related to the abuse or not. Abuse is a heavy cross to bear, and all too often it is a case of the abused carrying the abuser's cross. If that is the case for you, put it down. Stop asking yourself if there's anything about you that had a part in what happened; it just doesn't matter whether or not there is. Stop distrusting yourself and your desires. Recognizing that the doubts you have about yourself might be part of how the abuse happened in the first place is a bold step in the direction of healing those wounds. Just spend enough time with people in healthy relationships to learn to tell the difference between a predator that will eat you and one that will not. Learn how to take precautions, and go looking for someone with good intentions and who is preferrably sensitive to the issues that linger after abuse. Health, al-Aswad.
