Hi,
I hear the confusion, pain, and emotional pull this person still seems to have over you.
As a counselling psychologist, I want to offer both validation and clarity — because what you’re feeling is completely human, but also shaped by deep emotional trauma from the past.
It’s okay to feel conflicted — you’ve been through a lot. From what you’ve shared, this relationship brought you significant distress, impacted your mental and physical health, and left you feeling unsafe and disrespected.
While it’s natural to hope someone will change, true change requires accountability, consistent action, and emotional maturity — none of which he has shown so far. Real love doesn’t leave you isolated, anxious, or doubting your worth.
Healing does not mean going back to what once broke you. It means recognizing what hurt you and choosing not to walk back into it. You are not truly confused — your intuition already knows the truth. It is just waiting for you to fully trust it.
You have shown great strength in walking away before, and that strength is still within you.
If you’re feeling unsure, speaking to a therapist can help you process these feelings and rebuild clarity.
You deserve love that feels safe, steady, and kind — and that begins with choosing yourself.

Health Tips
Start by giving yourself the space you truly deserve — take a few minutes each day for deep breathing to calm your mind, move your body through gentle exercise or walks to release stress, and try journaling your thoughts and feelings to hear your own voice more clearly.
These actions can help you reconnect with your strength, rebuild clarity, and remind you that you are already on the path to healing.
