Epic Letter to Ex-fiancé

Finally... at least you get it. During the relationship, he promised me that he would get therapy because he admitted to "not treating (me) well". I believed it the same way that I believed all of the other lies because it was my first relationship. Because he is a psychologist, I just didn't think that he would lie and lie and lie. On top of that, he was supposedly a "devout" Christian. It was basically cognitive dissonance for me. I could reconcile the idea of a Christian psychologist with the lying and emotional abuse. Religious abuse can really confuse a person because you just don't know if the person is "praying to be delivered" or if it is all a game.
