Heartbroken and struggling to cope

That's just it really. DP and I have gone our seperate ways. He was perfect in the beginning .. Grew into aggressive, ill tempered and sometimes emotional abuser. It progressed into pushing me, bruises to boot etc. Yet after all this I didn't have the courage to leave. After a horrendous Christmas with MIL and my parents I cracked and told parents extent. Last night they helped me remove everything from our home together. His reaction was empty, infact he ran away.

I haven't eaten, I can't sleep, all I can think of is the love I have for him. I wish it could go , I feel like am in mourning. It goes against everything I believe in.

I am so lucky; everyone rallying round; all I want us to see him, smell him and kiss him. But he wanted to end the relationship; he blames me for awful MIL reaction to Christmas. I can't fathom out what to do. I want this man who never treated me right, I crave and desire him, against the best wishes if all friends and family.

I am really, really struggling.

What is making you panic? Work through each issue and someone will come up with solutions.

Thursday. 2 hours there, 2 back from here. I know am not in a mindset to get a place by myself just yet, I need the love and support i have here. But it's going to be physically and mentally draining

'One day you'll wake up and see him as be really is - where you saw an Adonis, you'll see a selfish child, where you'll see a prince you'll see a FROG...'

this quote is saving me just now

amillionyears · 01/01/2013 22:02

Basically you loved part of a man.
But part of a man is not enough for me.
And I dont think, and hope, it is not enough for you either.

OverlyYappyAlways · 01/01/2013 22:02

Chaos :)

Can you share any insight from that book please? I am impatient to receive my copy :)

Chaoscarriesonagain · 01/01/2013 23:36

Hello! Well it splits into key characteristics ; the bully, the persuader, the head worker, the jailer, the liar and so on,

It goes onto list the key characteristics, and now that makes us feel. It explores some of the deeper understanding that we struggle with; the how, why, our appeasement for an 'easy life' and so on.

It has helped me identify him as a bully and a persuader; someone who loses the rag, intimidates, and then someone who cries the next day.
