So I left my abusive partner last month. I know it is pathetic, but at first I was really missing him (or what he used to be and what could have been, as he was really awful to me) I can’t go no contact as we have children together.
Whilst I feel that my feelings are changing and it’s probably worse given that it’s Christmas, I can’t stop thinking about how he doesn’t seem bothered.
We were together for six years. He was obstructive in the week before I left then cried on the sat, then became quite petty afterwards, but he just seems fine now. I know I should just move on and forget, but I just can’t seem to switch off. Maybe it’s my last way of hoping he could show remorse or prove he actually cared. He never showed emotion really, so I guess it’s normal for him.
Has anyone been through this? How did your ex react and how did you help yourself to move on?
