I second that. Good job, Vlad, and the others before him!

A simple point I want to emphasize is that being a good sub or slave does not mean you must be weak or have poor self esteem. Personally I prefer the opposite. The stronger, more confident and intelligent she is, the more significant her submission is to me.

If a dominant has a pattern of belittling you outside of playtime in order to make you psychologically dependent on him, that's a red flag for an abuser. However if he is supportive of your educational and professional dreams plus it just feels right to be on your knees and naked before him, he's a "keeper". Don't let that one get away!
