I recently left my abusive husband and could have written this myself. I feel much better having left and in some ways I feel like I am getting my spark back… but I am also realising all the things he did, little things which I brushed off or let go to avoid an argument, I am remembering things I put to the back of my mind and I feel like a big mess.
I don’t regret leaving but processing has made me sad. I have started therapy. I decided to go for a relationship therapist as although I am single she specialises in relationships, abuse whilst still covering general topics. It has helped to talk about all the incidents with someone I don’t know and to find ways to accept and manage the emotions
