tw relationship abuse mention //

if ur a survivor of abusive/toxic/unhealthy relationship, open this thread. (not supposed to be intentionally triggering)
abuse ment /

you do not need to talk to your abuser for closure. your abuser does not need to be present for you to move on.
abuse ment /

if your abuser apologizes to you or tries to reach out to you, you are not obligated to engage.
abuse ment /

if your abuser realizes the relationship was horrible before you did, that does not make you the bad guy. that does not make you the perpetrator.
abuse ment /

abusers do not need to talk to their victims for "closure." please don& #39;t believe you have to eventually talk to them if you don& #39;t want to.
abuse ment /

you do not need to form a friendship/relationship with your abuser to heal.
implied abuse /

it& #39;s okay if you felt like the relationship was good for awhile. it& #39;s okay if you came back to them once, twice, or several times. that does not mean you enjoyed it or deserved it.
abuse ment /

you are not obligated to stay friends with your abuser& #39;s friends/family.
abuse ment /

you do not owe your abuser anything. you do not owe them an essay, closure, a conversation, or any of the sort.
you do not need a romantic relationship to "fix" you. you can heal without involving yourself in romance. and if you do want to take that route, please be gentle to yourself.
it& #39;s okay to be afraid of getting into a relationship. you aren& #39;t a coward. it& #39;s a natural response to protect yourself.
abuse ment /

you are not wrong for wanting to go back to that relationship, especially if it& #39;s so recently after the breakup. it& #39;s a natural emotional reaction in relationships with power dynamics. you were conditioned to depend on them. it& #39;s okay to still feel that way.
implied abuse /

there is a difference between love and fear, even if they feel so similar. i promise you a healthy relationship does not feel that terrifying and unstable. not every relationship you go through is going to feel like that.
abuse ment /

you did not let your abuser hurt you. you did not let them take advantage of you. you didn& #39;t let anything happen. it just happened.
there wasn& #39;t a sole reason for that experience to happen. there isn& #39;t an explanation that the universe or god(s) can give you to give you closure. sometimes terrible things happen for no reason. it& #39;s awful and unfair and you& #39;re allowed to feel angry, upset, hurt.
time does heal wounds, even if it doesn& #39;t feel like it right now. even if you can& #39;t stop thinking about it. as time goes on, your mind will naturally distance itself, and those feelings won& #39;t be so strong so often. i promise.
wrote this as a late night thing bc ive been thinking. added tws to the ones that might be triggering. pls take care of urselves, i love you.
