Thank you so much for your replies. It’s nice being able to find a place where people understand. Unless you’ve been in this situation, I can imagine how hard it is to understand!
I’ve done a lot of research around trauma bonding etc and love addiction. It surprises me that not many professionals know about this. Like therapist’s and so on.
I will certainly look into meditation fizzylem. Thanks for that. I am so pleased to hear that you feel that way about him now. I can only hope to be in that place sometime.
It’s all such an injustice. A person who can treat another person the way they do and then walk away unscathed leaving the other person to deal with it for a very long time. Terribly unfair.
I wondered if anyone has the situation where friends or relations are also linked to their ex, where it would not be possible to remove this ‘link’ from their life? Especially if the person is a trigger.
