Aw, good for you finally breaking away and outlining the steps you plan to take to change your life. Sounds as though your ex is a narcissistic sociopath. Don't blame yourself. Those types are very good at being chameleons till they get what they want and you're no longer a challenge. You're pretty and have a radiant smile! I think a dental career is a good match. We have an excellent group on Steemit dedicated to healthy eating, recipes, exercise, etc. Good luck in 2018! @kayleigh-alesta
