I’ve gone back

[Put the kettle on]

I felt so lonely and alone that we’re talking again. He’s being nice, it’s familiar company. He was my best friend at times, it wasn’t always bad. That’s the thing with abusive relationships, they’re not always bad so it’s hard to leave and stay away.

I also have this feeling of anxiety in my stomach. Confusion whether I’ve done the right thing or not.

I don’t really know why I’m posting, maybe because people on here understand how hard it is to stay away

I’m sorry to read this. I know how strong the draw is to go back.

I recently found the abuse cycle on (website name removed by Moderator) and it shows how almost impossible it is to get out of the cycle. But women do leave abusive partners and stay gone and some of them post here. They inspire me.

Take care of yourself.

I recently watched a video on social media and one thing she said has really helped me when I’ve been feeling the same as you;

‘A bad person can pretend to be good. But a good person wouldn’t pretend to bad’
