I'm 40 years old, and have just come out of a very emotionally abusive relationship.
I'm reading Lundy Bancroft and going through it with a highlighter and many lightbulb moments about my ex, and both ex partners before him too.
I'm asking how I can break the cycle. I was single for 4 years before my latest relationship, working on myself, self image, self esteem, building my own life, and I thought I was ready to try again, but this latest relationship was actually more abusive than the previous two long term ones.
I'm going to finish the book, but can anyone recommend anything else? Any sort of therapy?
There is always the option to remain single of course, which is what I'm going to do for a long while, it's going to take a long time to recover from the latest relationship. but I do believe in love, and one day I do hope to have real love in my life. I'd be grateful for any advice? Thank you
