I was physically and emotionally abused in a 12 year marriage. It has been 10 years since I divorced him. I married a 2nd time and thought that I was in love. But, once again I left that marriage feeling it wasn't right. I have been in a 4 year relationship with a wonderful man. However, I've been thinking about leaving him. It just doesn't feel like love to me. I am confused if this pattern of running has anything to do with the abusive relationship or am I searching for my soul mate? I am a very spiritual person and believe if I can connect with the spiritual world, whether that is within me or if it exists outside of myself, everything would become clear. Can someone give me some direction? Where do I start?
