      Hi

      I don’t login very often now as I am settled now with my own flat for quite a few years now. When I do I find it hard to read some of your accounts and experiences. My heart goes out to anyone still living with their abuser.

      Recently there have been a few social media posts about strangulation. This has brought back a few memories for me .Β  Part of wants to let things go and forget about the past . But the other side wants to scream from the rooftops . My Ex never apologized for any of his behaviour and I never had the courage to tell him how he made me feel and still feel some degree of responsibility for his behaviour though I haven’t a clue why.

      I have had therapy mainly for my eating disorder but always found it impossible to actually discuss any details around what life was like with him.

      I am in a new job now and now one knows anything about me or my past which sometimes feels lonely.

      What is there to gain by bringing up the past now ?

      Thanks for reading x
