Doubt, have I just given up?

[Yellowrosegirl]

I left an abusive relationship of (detail removed by Moderator) years and taking each day as it comes right now. Ultimately happy that I have chosen myself and my happiness first.
I’m starting to feel doubt. I believe in a relationship where you never give up on each other and work through difficult times. But I know this isn’t true to the abusive relationship I’ve come out of. I loved him for (detail removed by Moderator) years and changed my entire life for him, for us to work. And I can’t help but feel like have I just ‘given up’? In a bit of turmoil with my thoughts about this. Can anyone offer some advice?

I’m not sure I can help really, but just wanted to say you aren’t alone in feeling like this. It’s exactly how I feel.

Something that helps me sometimes is to remember how much I think you shouldn’t just give up. It remind me that when I made the decision to leave I must have been in a really bad place, as otherwise I wouldn’t have done it.

Not even sure that makes sense, but I hope you feel more sure of yourself soon xx
