Recovering from this was difficult & took time. If you’re in an experience like this, I promise it gets better. Don’t allow anyone to rip you apart, don’t chase after anyone. This isn’t love, this was hatred. I am now in a healthy and loving relationship & I am so happy.
Signs of a toxic relationship:
1) they blame everything on you
2) they disrespect you (name calling, shaming, etc)
3) shady behaviour (hiding their phone from you, etc)
4) highs & lows (they ignore you/leave you & come back)
5) “I promise I’m going to change”
6) you fear them

Often times people know they are in an abusive cycle but are too afraid to leave. I promise you leaving will feel much better than staying. The affects the relationship have are way too serious to keep staying. Leave these people blocked forever.
The one piece of advice that I would give myself back then is to never go back. Additionally, there will be people on their side but the right people will not remain neutral and will stick by you.
There are people I follow on here that remain neutral and still follow this man. You may be the next victim or you may simply not care. As a gift to myself, I will never forgive & I will be soft blocking. If you or anyone you know needs support, please DM.
