Moving on

[its a new day]

I’m in a new relationship now and I’m engaged but I still can’t get over over my abusive ex. Still think about him everyday. And feel so guilty that I still think about him even though I’m in a new relationship and that I’m much happier now.

Hi its a new day,

Welcome to the forum.

It can take time to process the emotions involved when you’ve experienced domestic abuse. What you’re feeling is normal and you’re not alone in this. Try to be kind to yourself, it’s not your fault. Some support to work through things can be helpful if you’re feeling stuck. As well as support from the other women on this forum, you could speak to your GP about options for talking therapies in your area.

I hope that being here with others who understand helps you to sort through what you’re feeling.

Take care and keep posting,
Lisa

Hey, after the abuse I think it is normal to think of them stikk alot. I think of mine every day! It’s the trap isn’t it. The addiction etc The mind game you were in.

Whwn I am this please don’t think i am judging because I’m not I am just wandering. Are you ready for another relationship? Do u feel like you need more time to heal beforr being in another?

Aand, I’m just wandering in what way do you think about him? Is it I how he abused you and you get upset or is it in a missing him and wanting to be in arms kind of way?

Yes I been to a number of therapist. I’ve needed to. Male and female. In person and online during covid.

I’ve felt things have changed recently for the better.
