Just wanted to add to my previous post that what did happen after hearing about their new relationships was that I somehow saw it as a proof that I had failed, that those two men had been right in their criticism, that I had deserved the abuse, that it had all been my own fault, that something was wrong with me, etc. As if they would be such bad guys, they wouldn’t be in new relationships, right? If Mr. A was so horrible, a new woman wouldn’t have put faith in him as the father of her child, right? And if Mr. B was so mean, he wouldn’t have won the heart of a woman (detail removed by moderator) years his junior, right?
