I'm a former model obsessed with perfection (F20)

I would ignore that comment. You clearly stated you have an appointment with a therapist, I don't think you need to be concerned about this post encouraging people to be victims or something. I think its really important that people can be open about their conflicting thoughts and feelings when it comes to abusive relationships. The way I see it there are often many desirable traits an abuser has and many parts of the relationship that are highly valued and if that is all dismissed as "abuse victim psychology" and cannot be talked about through fear of painting the abuser in a positive light then there is a massive disconnect which isn't healthy. All the best with therapy and your future.
