I am glad I came across this post… I recently got out of a verbally and emotionally abusive situation. In all honesty, the anger still hasn’t subsided JUST yet because I am in the phase of not believing I allowed someone to treat me like that BUT even with all that said, I KNOW the anger will fade eventually and can’t wait until that time. I think the key to it all is literally keeping your thoughts factual. It is absolutely so common for the human mind, no matter how much hate your heart feels, to remember this fairy tale version of the relationship that wasn’t the reality of it. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT SOMEONE WHO ISN’T WORRIED ABOUT YOU, what has gone doesn’t compare to what is coming. I think what I have absolutely found helpful in the beginning was telling myself that whatever this person does, feels, thinks, whatever, has NOTHING to do with me anymore.. it doesn’t affect my life, my friends, my family.. everything he does is separate from me.. it’s tough at first, but eventually I didn’t care, I actually laugh now. I don’t know if this helped for you but maybe it will help other readers 🙂
