After 3 years, I put an end to a relationship that started getting very aggressive in the last few months. I won\’t go into details, but it was hell. I was never good enough and most of the things he did to me were always my fault, in fact it was always all my fault …… After he even physically assaulted me, I gathered up the last remnants of my self-esteem and put an end to it. We have a dog together and he threatens to take it away from me because I can\’t take care of it (in doing so, I have bought him everything he needs from the beginning). She can\’t leave me alone after all of this.
The worst part is that we will still be living together for about a month… Besides going to work, I try to be active outside to avoid being abused. He no longer helps me with anything regarding routine things around the house (not that he was eager to help me before he wanted to). He told me that I am on my own now and that he won\’t help me financially or with the dog (he said he is keeping it the way I want it). The worst part is that I realize I made a good decision… But without that, I end up remembering only the good ones. I have to do my best to get through each day, it\’s very hard mentally. It\’s great to work with people, but as you get closer to home, you get sad that it\’s over.
It\’s as if they don\’t care about me …… Going out, taking pictures with others, smiling in shape …… I have great people around me, lots of support, everyone is there for me and I am very grateful. But it really hurt me to see him not caring about me and smiling like nothing happened. I started going to therapy, exercising, meeting people I haven\’t seen in a long time, reading books, trying to be grateful for everything I have, but I still feel sad and don\’t know what to do.
