its been a few months since i got out of my abusive relationship. but now im haunted with the terrible memories and repercussions of fear all the time.
it makes me feel awful all the time. wounded badly, and mad at myself for not being able to act sooner, and just the anguish of it being all iv ever known. it really hurts.
does this feeling ever go away?

" It takes time and an active pursuit of recovery. Three years out of my abusive marriage I still feel the things you feel right now, just not as badly.

Focus on the positive spin: you had the courage to identify and remove yourself from an abusive situation...most people never get out. This makes you a strong survivor.

Also, you need to learn to know and love yourself all over again. I think as abuse survivors we find it familiar to beat ourselves up...it is what our abusers did so it's quite familiar.

It gets better with time, therapy, love, good friends, good food and exercise....hugs to you for your pain, I know exactly how you feel. "

" Please remember that you are a SURVIVOR! You did what you could WHEN you could. That takes a lot of strength...the fact that you got out. I can relate to your pain. You won't forget but it will get better in time. You take care hon. "

" Focus on positive and like the other post learn to love your self get to know you all over again. I stayed for 14 years and went through the same as you it has been 9 years and I have discovered who I am. I went back to college I did so many things it was like being reborn all over again. I will not lie i do have my moments and sometimes get mad that I stayed for that long but then I think at least I am not there now. So look at it like that at least you are out that take huge step you are stronger then you think "
