It’s been (timeframe removed by Moderator) since I left my partner, who I didn’t know was an abuser until I finally listened to my friends, family and woman’s aid. I always just said that he was jealous, paranoid and messed with my head. The more I read on domestic abuse the more I recognised a lot of these things were happening to me on a regular basis for over (timeframe removed by Moderator) years. When I read about gaslighting I definitely recognised that this excuse for a human being whom I’d spent my life with had been doing this to me for years. (timeframe removed by Moderator) later I have my own house and I do feel free but I just can’t get him out of my head. Any suggestions or strategies I could use, I’m struggling on my own.

Hi Sunflower@garden1,
Welcome to the forum, thank you for sharing with us. What you’ve described is very common for women who have been through domestic abuse. Both the not realising it’s happening while you’re in it and it taking time to recover. Hopefully some of the other women here will be able to share their experiences and what they’ve found helpful soon. You might like to have a look at the Bloom website, which offers courses and other resources to support with healing from trauma, including specifically around abusive relationships.
Take care and keep posting,
Lisa
