Finally wrote it off

I finally left my mentally abusive partner. It took me years to figure out what he was doing. All the psychological mind trips. The gaslighting. The deflections and unhealthy need to continuously argue without ever wanting resolution.

I am so glad I said enough was enough. It still doesn't make it easy. I invested a lot of time and effort into it and wish I had called it off sooner. Why do I try to make things work that clearly won't? I hope I can figure it out in the future.
