Waiting for 'the feeling'

[ChangChang]

Left partner yesterday, long list of reasons for split - or so I thought.
Packed everything and left whilst he was at work, he came to my relatives' house where I am staying with DC when he realised, wanting to talk.
Thought he would be angry, aggressive and attempting to take the children back. Instead, he seemed genuinely crushed and mystified why I have done this.
Thought leaving would allow me to feel a sense of relief, but I just feel awfully sad and beginning to doubt if I've got it all wrong :(

With major decisions it's normal to doubt yourself. Do you think you left for the right reasons? Maybe after all this time you felt a bit sorry for him, also normal despite the circumstances.

I left my narc ex when my daughter was 1. He was an abusive asshole but I still felt sorry for him because I was sad he can't be a better person x

Oh and then the relief and joy set in

Don't make any decisions whilst you're feeling jumbled up and confused. See how you feel in a week's time.
