The truth is: I was lost in him. I had gone from losing one of the most important people in my life and then losing someone I loved a month later. I wrapped myself in people, in lust, in the idea of love. I met him and I met a gentlemen, and when I found out who he truly was, I was still in love with the gentleman and justified all of his actions. Dominic Riccitello
About This Quote

The truth is: I was lost in him. I had gone from losing one of the most important people in my life and then losing someone I loved a month later. I wrapped myself in people, in lust, in the idea of love. I met him and I met a gentleman, and when I found out who he truly was, I was still in love with the gentleman and justified all of his actions." is a letter written by Mona El-Tahawy, a journalist for Al-Ahram, a daily Egyptian newspaper.

In this letter she explains how she fell passionately in love with a man who ultimately abused her after promising to love her forever. The details of her story are heartbreakingly painful to read, but what comes through loud and clear is that her pain is not unique even though it may seem that way. While no two relationships will be identical, many women can relate to the pain she describes.
