Will I ever get over it?

I mean my emotionally abusive relationship. It finished 10 years ago and I was in it since 16 so for 5 years. I wanted to leave but couldn't. In a nut shell he was very controlling, seperated me from family and friends, brain washed me into his way of thinking (whilst rubbishing all of my views) and ended up with controlling what I ate to the extent of going down to 6 stone and having to drop out of university. I ended up on a psychiatric ward for a month due to him.

I have done fairly well since then and have got qualifications, a degree and post grad etc but I have had no luck with love, continue to make bad choices and I'm still single. I feel like I am missing out.

I do feel like I am getting over the abuse but it still comes up from time to time. I just regret ever meeting him so much and I don't know how to heal properly.

Fairly well? You sound like you are making huge strides and experiencing real success. Be proud of yourself. Allow yourself time and get help if you need it. Don't be in too much of a rush to find someone. Look after yourself and when the time is right I hope you find the right person to make you as happy as you deserve to be.
