Knowing that it is not me
«

6 months after the end my uBPDxh still is telling me I am the problem but he will love me forever.
Going through this divorce has been one of the hardest things I have ever done. Having to hear from our children how he is still abusive to them is the hardest thing I have ever done. Knowing he has sweet talked a judge and the local police bugs the crum out of me.
But right now my grandfather is in hospice. And I am here supporting my Aunt. And I continue to go to work everyday, do the laundry, pay the bills.
Every normal thing I do reminds me that it isn't me and I am choosing to leave an unhealthy relationship to be a healthier person.

Kudos to you Mcgddss for recognizing your needs, for understanding your right to being healthy.
Love is not enough. People can love without being involved in a relationship: Feeling love is easy, the nuts and bolts of a relationship take having the right tools and a lot of elbow grease.
