Why am I not releived?

Rhaena August 12th, 2018

He broke up with me today after beating the crap out of me 2 weeks ago. And after years of emotional abuse. Why am I even sad about this? I don't understand how there is even a part of me that doesn't want him to leave. He has been terrible and I've been terrible back. Yet for some reason I'm still sitting here crying because I don't want to lose him. None of this makes sense

Hey. Welcome and sorry to hear that you are upset and trying to make sense of the situation you find yourself in.

Why am I even sad about this? - could it be that there is a change coming in your life and at the moment you can;t see how things are going to work out? Or you just don;t have a plan as to what to do next? Most people don't like change, they would rather hang on to the way thongs are, rather than change them. And I don;t know if this applies to you but with emotional abuse it can generally wear a person down so in the end they are left with little of no self-esteem. No self-confidence that they can cope on their own without their abuser.

I don't want to lose him. - only you can be responsible for that one. Is that what you really think? Or is it for reasons I outlined above?

I am listener here so if you think it would help you please feel free to message me or reply to this whichever you are most comfortable with.

Take care
