But if you do that every time, hasn't it become obvious by now, that you can't run away from the pain? If you keep getting hurt, it's because there is some pain in you already that's making you very vulnerable. So wherever you run to you will just find more pain. You have to deal with the inner pain, and then you will be less vulnerable, and not have to actually leave town each time someone hurts you, you'll be more resilient. After all what sort of a life is that, being on the run all the time. It must reinforce any feelings of low self-esteem doing that!
