It’s been two years since I left him. Two years since I walked out of that door and never looked back. I remember how hard it was in the beginning, how I felt like I was lost without him. I was scared, confused, and didn’t know how to go on without him. But I did it. I took one day at a time, and eventually, those days turned into weeks and months. And now, here I am, two years later and I can say with confidence that I am finally free. If you’re reading this, then it means you’ve just taken the first step in freeing yourself from your abuser. Congratulations. It’s not going to be easy, but trust me when I say that it is so worth it. Cut off all communication. This includes phone calls, texts, social media, email, etc. Trust me when I say that they will try to reach out to you in any way they can, but you need to stay strong. Block their number if you have to. Delete them from your social media accounts. Do whatever it takes to remove them from your life completely.
Find a support system. Whether it’s a group of friends, family members, or a therapist, make sure you have people in your corner who believe you and who will support you through this difficult time. These people will be your rock when things get tough – lean on them when you need to.
Take care of yourself. This is probably the most important part. When you’re going through something as traumatic as an abusive relationship, it’s easy to forget about taking care of yourself both physically and mentally. Make sure you’re eating right, exercising, and getting enough sleep. And don’t hesitate to reach out for help if you’re struggling with your mental health – there is no shame in seeking professional help when you need it.You deserve to be happy and safe and free from fear. You deserve so much better than what he ever gave you. So please, be patient with yourself as you heal and know that better days are ahead for you – days where you won’t have to constantly look over your shoulder or worry about what might happen next. You are strong enough to get through this – never forget that."
