How come?


Posts: 172

As many of you know, I've been in an abusive relationship. We've been back and forth and I have tried to leave him. Weeks at a time I manage to stay away from that toxic environment. 

We had a fight and he left, he came back and we didn't talk much about it. We had kind of broken up, but lived together. 

Yesterday we had a fight. And I finally packed my bags and I left with my babygirl. 

After years in an abusive relationship I am finally free. (Again?) So. Why am I not happy? Why does it feel SO wrong? Why doesn't it feel like I have won a battle? Why am I so full of guilt?

Assuming this story is true, then maybe it helps to visualize the relationship you had as a poker game.

You went back-and-forth, winning and losing, and it came to the point where you went all-in.

Now it looks like maybe you've lost all your chips, but in the back of your head, maybe you haven't? One last play might fix it?

Ahaha, looks like it's time for another time capsule. First one was in the thread where Limey embarrassed himself. This one is from March 2nd 2014, so almost 1 year ago. Kitten was Mika's username back then. It explains why no good words and advice should be wasted on a doormat like Mika, so don't waste your breath people.

This thread would have been really worthless without some background, now Mika's real problems are more transparent I hope :D

As I said, I managed to stay away for weeks at times. But I went back to him. Every time. It's been a struggle. I am not trying to hide that fact Ed.
