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.

I'm so happy for you...Been there, done that. Detaching ourselves from unhealthy relationships, imho, is probably the hardest emotional turmoil that we will ever encounter next to BEING IN an abusive relationship. Life is not hell anymore. It takes time but allow yourself to accept "what is". I had to work through it also. You will be so much stronger, more resolute, no one will surprise you. Don't rush into any relationship; wolves are on the prowl for fresh victims.
