Why am I missing my abusive exh?

I left my ex husband in January after one too many fights.

We have 2 children. He has a new girlfriend. I'm single.

I miss him like crazy, I miss the good times. The abuse did get worse in the end, but only the past year. Before that times were so good. I miss laughing with him, I miss how attractive he made me feel. I miss being a family.
And now he's doing everything right with his new girlfriend, stuff I begged him to do with me in the past 2 years. She has children so they are acting the perfect family. They have been together 5 months.

My heart is hurting.

You miss the good times but you know that if you stayed the abuse would take over. Given more time the abuse always gets worse.
Things with the new woman will turn sour, because he is s abusive person. That will not change just because he has a new relationship.

Keep looking forwards, remember why you left. One step at a time. You will begin to miss your past life less.
Concentrate on yourself and the DC. Do things that make you feel good.
