Two year wasted

Two months ago, I finally broke free from my toxic, two-year relationship. During that time, I lost sight of myself and the things I loved. His alcohol addiction often led to dangerous and abusive behavior. Despite my patience and understanding, it became clear that his ambiguous relationship with his ex-girlfriend was a red flag.

It's hard to believe I let myself be manipulated and disrespected. I used to be strong and set boundaries. But trauma can make us vulnerable. While I harbor resentment, I also understand the cycle of hurt. It's time to focus on healing and rebuilding my life.
The past two months have been a rollercoaster. While I'm committed to rebuilding myself, it won't be easy. Last week, I reached out, seeking the honesty he denied me during our relationship. Instead of taking responsibility, he played the victim, blaming me and portraying himself as a kind and helpful person. His ex even contacted me, adding another layer of complexity to this already messy situation.
If you’ve been through similar experiences, I’d love to hear your stories and how you overcame those challenges.
