I just walk around the house and get flash backs of the abuse.

I pray I can move on fully, I pray I can leave and find peace somewhere .. I have an idea of what I will be doing but the trauma is too much. I remember how my ex choked me to the point I was just gasping for air and brought me to the ground. He grabbed me by the hair and punched me on the side of my head. I’ll never understand someone like that . Then proceed to pretend nothing happened. I’m really going to take a self defense class , move to a gun state because I really want to protect myself, I should not ever feel this trauma every second of the day. I don’t know why I fall for abusive men or put up with it ,every ex I had was abusive but not like this one in jail.. I wish I put all of them in jail ,I’m really done with guys for a long time. Maybe one day when I establish myself and I make better choices in men.

I have these, too. Some of these flashbacks, I don’t think will ever go away. As hard as they can hit, I’m not sure I’d ever want them to. My experience isn’t necessarily something I want to hold onto, but it’s definitely something I don’t want to allow myself to forget.
Learn to avoid the triggers that you can. Learn how to embrace the ones that you can’t- like an old friend reminding you of how strong you really are. ♥️

@QueenOfTheNerds ah one day , I’m planning to move soon so a fresh start will do me just right godwillingly

@moongoddessx When you do, get a dog if you’re able. They provide a lot of reassurance and security.

I agree you should take a self-defense class, but, keep in mind, it's not like in the movies where someone learns to fight in an hour or so. It takes months and even years of training and a lot of sparring against real opponents. Also, joining a gun club is a good idea,but again, it takes a lot of practice to learn to shoot accurately and under stress! Explore "less than lethal" weapons as well, like pepper spray, stun guns etc. Good Luck!

@fanuc2013 thank you for the advice , o definitely will consider all options even a dog lol
You might have PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) ,as constant flashbacks are common symptoms as well as anxiety. Consult with a therapist on how to best handle it and if it isn't affecting your daily life, maybe just find a support group made up of people who have gone through abuse but have moved forward and found success and are now helping others. Good Luck!
My friend was married to a guy like that too.. she got away from him.. she works out all the time now..

@SStarfish I hope she’s ripped !!! So if he comes around she can beat his ass
@moongoddessx she is but also she is married to a nice tall guy now.. i dont think her ex bothers with her anymore..
moongoddessx · 26-30, F
@SStarfish lmao YES I’m happy for her ..I always think when I start dating down the line I gotta find a taller and bigger person than my ex , he’salready 6ft and bulky, I come to terms I need to find a 7ft mma fighter or something lmao

You will be ok. Praise God you are alive. There is nothing harder than raising kids alone. One day at a time. You can do it!

@Carazaa thank you so much 🥹
I get this . I hate it when i have to go back to my old house to pick up my kids. I walk in and all i see are the walls i got thrown against, where i got strangled, the bench my face got smashed into .
Its imprinted . I can't overwrite those images .

I hope you get somewhere new.💜
