I’m out again, how do I get through this

[Ariel]

I’m out of my second abusive relationship. This one I am only realising that I was in one. He was not physically abusive and that’s why I didn’t believe it.
he always said that he hates men who hurt women but he seemed to care about screaming abuse in my face for catching him out in a lie.
I lost my self respect by messaging and messaging him to let’s work it out together.
he was a drug addict and dealer that I recently found out.
so the screaming in my face and punching things around the room was when I’d catch him in a lie.
The things he’s done and I’m still left pinning for the cuddle that I really need and words that everything is going to be ok.
mom I’m a Trauma bond and I am struggling to mentally cope.
