Over this past Easter holiday weekend I had a conversation with some ladies regarding my ex-boyfriend.

(It amazes me how much you learn about a person after the relationship is over)  He is now preying on someone else.

As the conversation went on I realised that I am not the only person to have been the victim of a predator when I had low self esteem.

Your self esteem can be low and you may not even realise that the choices you are making are hurting you trying to avoid the hurt that you feel.

For much of my  twenties and thirties I put myself in some chaotic situations because I was hurting deep down inside. 

I settled for things that were below my standards.

I took things that in a sane mind would not have been an option.

I had a hurt so deep that I didn't even know that I was hurting.

During those times in my life I drew people toward me that preyed on those hurts.

My heart was like a black hole.

Predators can be men or women.

Predators can be your friends (male/female).

Predators make you believe that they have what you need.

Predators will give you a sob story.

Predators will suck the life out of you if you are not careful.

Predators will alienate you from family and friends.

Predators want you by yourself  so that noone can help you. 

I thank God that I didn't lose my mind.

I didn't drink myself into a drunk.

I didn't get AIDS or anything else.

I didn't become a crack head.

I ruined my business and credit.

No one can fill the voids that you have in your heart.

No matter how hard you try.

You must dig deep inside to find the hurt.

When you don't the predator will.

You are worthy of love.  From someone who actual loves you.

First you must LOVE you.  If you don't love you.  You cannot love someone else.

No matter if I get married or stay single.

I know that God's LOVE is enough for me.

Predators prey on your weaknesses.

They offer you the things that you say you are missing from your life. 

In my new book I talk about one of those predators. 

His name for the books sake is Bill.

The lie I told myself was that I didn't want to keep starting over.

Sound familiar

I hope that you get and read a copy of the book so that you can avoid the same mistakes.

Do you have a predator in your life???
