Thanks for your reply MsTaken.
I know it probaly won’t make a difference telling him how much it has effected me, but I feel like when we broke up he feels more sorry for himself because I broke up with him, rather than see all the reasons why it had to end. I didn’t even know how much it affected me until after it was over and it’s hurts and I want him to know how much it hurts and that I’ve had to deal with so much crap I didn’t even realise I had going on! He had an abusive upbringing and I always blamed it on that, but it’s the hindsight now that kills me!.. HOW was I so naive! The freedom project sounds great! But I’m not living in the UK now, I’ll look in to resource near me. I just wish there was a day that went by that I didn’t think about it. Definetly have triggers I’ve noticed that a lot lately! Will speak to councillor about it thanks. Hope you are doing well
