I am new to the forum too. After suffering years of emotional (and other) abuse, cohersion and control, I got out. It would be a lie to claim it was because I felt strong or was for my kids.It was because he did something that could easily have killed me, and I am left in permanently pain. Luckily, I knew where to go for advice and went to get help straight away.
It continues to be difficult to process, is it possible to fully recover?
My ex manipulates our children and continues to play narcissistic mind games, although I avoid contact and refuse to participate as much as possible.
Does it ever end, or do I have to flee to somewhere new?
Also do you have to work through it to heal? Frankly, I’d rather bury my head in the sand for a while longer.
