How do I move on?

[Tryingtolovemyself]

Hi everyone
I’m new to this and desperately trying to reach out so people who can understand me.
I was with my ex partner for just over (detail removed by Moderator). Our relationship become mentally and verbally abusive pretty quick and suddenly my life was in his hands. Constantly blinded by his up and down moods and abuse to love bombing. Our relationship came to and end abruptly due to him going to prison. I spent the next (detail removed by Moderator) months walking with my head in shame. I couldn’t move past the guilt I was feeling for the outcome. I thought I was healing when the new year started but I couldn’t stop myself reaching out to him. We started our relationship again for around (detail removed by Moderator) months until very recently. He is now back in custody. I feel completely alone and overwhelmed. I don’t want to go on like this and I don’t know how I can move on. I know this isn’t what I want, that life, but is it love or is it control? I don’t know where to start with trying to heal. I don’t know anyone personally who can relate to me and my situation so I’m reaching out here in the hope someone can help.
Thankyou all in advance. X

Hi there,

Congratulations on finding forum.

For me it was a “final straw”.

I am continuing to move on this year and remove all ties.
