Have you ever had a phase of still loving your ex/ abuser?

[NoMoreDickheads]

If you feel comfortable, then please share your stories of still loving/ having gone through a phase of still loving your abuser, or any insights you might have on this.

I'm doing the Freedom Programme and am on some other support groups, and sisters often mention still loving them, still worrying about them etc.

I know they say some of it is trauma bonding.

I don't feel this for my ex at al, I think he was an utter twunt, I remember all the bad things he did, his obnoxious qualities, and his complete insincerity with everyone.

Would be interested in hearing more- maybe I'll reach that phase after the anger/eye rolling phase.

Afterthought :- I suppose it often depends who dumps who. If the narc does a discard etc it can be distressing of course, but I also know of women who've got rid of their abuser but are still caring about them.
