What's the best way to survive a break up from an abusive relationship if I still love them?

Recognize that it will be painful to move on, but that by doing so, you are loving yourself. You are dedicating yourself to a life of health and happiness and the respect and love you deserve. It's natural to still love them. It's okay. You can still love them even as you take care of yourself and begin to move on. It will pass.

Something that I think helps is to write down everything that the person put you through while you were together. Then you can read it when you are feeling like you miss them and still love them and remember why you had to leave and how much better off you are not having to deal with that abuse anymore. Stay strong and remember you are deserving of love and respect!

Reflect on yourself, forget everyone else and look after you. Nobody else matters for now. Shop for yourself, do your hair paint you nails then scratch it all off, remind yourself that nothing is permanent. Visit family, show yourself that people love you and care. Write down how you feel then scribble it out, rip up the paper, burn it. Scream rip scratch, go wild. Forgive.

Remind yourself that you deserve better. That no matter how awful you think you are you do not deserve to be hit. That sometimes it's okay to miss someone that you know you are better to not have in your life.

Definitely look and rely on support from close people in your life, such as close friends and family. They will have your best interest at heart and can help you emotionally. I understand that people will still "love" their ex-abuser, but that "love" wasn't true love. Love isn't degrading, harmful or scary. It's open, loving, kind and gentle. But after the relationship is over, if you feel like you need someone who will understand what you're going through and can be a helping hand - find a support group for previously abused men/women. I know it can be great help to hear other people's stories and how they survived, especially the break up. I hope this helps :)

You survive by simply telling yourself your just in love with the memory of you being in love. its all a facade you need to let go off the love you think you deserve.. you deserve much more

It is always hard to leave someone you love. Being in a abusive relationship is beyond tough let alone surviving one. If you managed to leave them in the first place you've done an incredible job and you have found the strength from somewhere. All you need to do is to tap into whatever gave you the strength to leave as this will act almost like when two magnets repel each other.
