Facing demons......

Today I saw someone who I haven't seen for nearly 6 years and who when I last saw I was scared of.
To cut a long story short, due to my low self asteam and low self confidence I found myself in a very negative and bad even sometimes abusive relationship from the age of 17 until just after my daughter was born at 23.  
This person bullied me and it took for me to have my daughter to leave him.....in my mind it didn't matter what happened to me but she (my beautiful baby girl) deserved better. 
This afternoon I bumped into him, he has been such an intimating, scary and controlling figure historically to me that I just tried to walk away, but after him calling my name repeatedly, I stopped and turned around....
I was faced with the person that I did not want to see, I always knew he may come back in to my life but I was not expecting for that day to be today!
He told me that he was sorry and when ever I was ready to resume contact with him then I could......then he said he wished me well and goodbye.
I am still processing this event and although I wish he didn't exsist, I must be greatful that he behaved respectfully and walked away.
This was a big thing for me.
I have faced yet another demon....and I'm ok.
