I persuaded my alcoholic partner to leave a few months ago. He was so ill. He moved out and I managed to get some free counselling which kept me going. Now the counselling has finished. I feel like I can’t cope without my counsellor. I became too attached to her because of the things that I told her about his abuse. Maybe because of who I am too. I have started (detail removed by Moderator) because it makes me feel better. I feel ashamed of myself – of who I am. I manage to keep going and go to work and look after the kids. But it’s so hard. I don’t want to be me anymore.

Hi tryingtosleep,
I’m sorry you’re feeling so low. The end of a course of counselling can be very difficult, it’s a space where you’ve allowed yourself to trust and be vulnerable, which takes a lot of courage. It’s quite normal for things to feel difficult after leaving, you suddenly have this space to deal with the trauma of abuse and that can take a bit of time. You’re not alone, keep reaching out. I’ve also sent you a PM with some further support.
Take care and keep posting,
Lisa
