When there is still a connection with your abusive ex,..

[Umbellifer]

We have to see each other regularly because of small DC, sometimes I’m indifferent or really hate seeing him. Other times I can feel that our once strong connection is still there…I know I have to keep walking but it’s so hard ☹️

I recommend watching Dr Ramani’s videos on YouTube about narcissism. They will help you understand your feelings and his behaviour, and prevent you from being tempted to go back.

I’m the same with my abusive ex.

Never had a connection like it, and the sex was incredible, but do you know why? Because that was the only time I had his full attention, the only time he was nice to me so of course I craved it and made it seem more “special” than it was.

It was a trauma bond, not love. Keep walking x
