Well done for getting out! It’s quite a ride moving from loving someone to recognising them basically as pathetic, damaged little man-child.
It’s difficult to recognise that we’ve been projecting what we think of love onto someone who’s missing a bit in their development.
There’s masses of help out there to hold your hand through your learning, understanding and recovery.
We’ve all fallen in love with someone who wasn’t real, someone who at their core can’t love and it’s such a kick in the teeth to feel so utterly used in every way possible. It’s normal to grieve. The good thing is that you can recover, you can heal and learn to keep yourself safe. He’s stuck on endless repeat until either he’s stopped or he’s dead.
It’s important to remember in these difficult times that every time you get out of bed, clean your teeth and make yourself a cup of tea that these are acts of kindness to yourself. Your GP should be a helpful ally, and there are organisations which offer counselling depending on your needs.

I’ve had medication and counselling, lots of domestic violence groups and therapeutic mental health groups. The littlest act of self care like getting out of bed can be hard some days. I haven’t been able to work full time for years. I try then I burn out after a few months. I’m very grateful for this forum.
