      I had thought the first bit of time after him leaving would be hardest but they were easy. It’s several months on now and it’s now I’m saddest and finding it hard. There’s no way I should miss them and their hideousness and substance abuse and vile behaviour. And yet I miss them. Just the nice (fake) bits. It’s now that I feel worthless and pointless and that I will literally never trust anybody again which is what makes me the saddest.  I’m assuming this is a phase and it will pass but it’s no fun.

      Hope everyone else having a good week 🙂 x

      bless your heart. could it be that initially there was a lot to sort out so you were busy thinking about other things. if not were you perhaps still running on adrenaline & being on a high from ending such a toxic relationship. because if everything has settled down now there is going to be room for thoughts about your ex.  i know it can seem crazy when you find yourself missing someone who was abusive but if you were trauma bonded to your ex then there will definitely be cravings. and i agree it can seem impossible ever trusting anyone again but its probably only because of how badly we were treated & our pain is still very raw

      healing is so very up & down so those feelings of worthlessness will pass.  just try to accept its rubbish right now knowing that tomorrow or the next day or the next week you will hopefully be feeling much more positive.  you will be ok. big hug from me x

      Ahhhh thanks so much. I think you’re probably right – o did spend alot of time sorting out my home and getting on with plans for moving away. Now that’s all done and times moving on I do have more time. Looking forward to coming out the other side of it all 🙂 x
