After a 2 year relationship, living together and engaged, he left and moved back to Houston in Feb. 2014. For the past 2 1/2 years we have been on and off long distance. I have been emotionally attached to this guy for some odd reason and i cant seem to break these chains. I feel recently he has been trying to manipulate me mentally and emotionally. It was a very hard break up and i cried everyday for almost 3 months. It was rather hard for him too. I consider myself to be an emotionally strong person who is not easily influenced but i feel like there is some sort of emotional power over me for him. I have prayed for the past years to be released from this but I always seem to go back to him. At first i thought maybe we are meant to be because I cant get over him and Ive never felt this overwhelming sense of emotion for someone. We stop talking for a few weeks, then either him or I will reach out and try. This on and off has been ongoing. Im emotionally drained and a few days ago we spoke and I had a feeling that he is just manipulating me now. Can someone please give me guidance on how to finally emotionally let go of someone?

So I went today to pick up the images of my heart to bring for the second opinion, and they said that they would be at the desk. They assured me that they would be there and that they would be open until 5 PM.

I had a really good therapist last year year briefly, but when my insurance changed, I lost her. It was nearly impossible to find someone who could meet after work and wanted to meet in person. It took me five months. I finally found someone through a firm that I used to use and they opened up a location right near my house, like 15 minutes away and she had appointments at 5 and 6. It was ok...
It's really tough to move on and go no contact (I'm doing it now with a different ex engagement) but sounds like you must.
No contact isn't about being strong, proofing you are better, or trying to make him miss you. It's for you. It will allow you to heal and grow.
You have to make the decision to move on. It's extremely hard. I'm there with you crying everyday. But it's for the best. If he contacts you in a few weeks, so what ignore it, You have to decide to be done. Get out of his head. Don't worry about him. Focus on you. You deserve better. You deserve not to be manipulated.
Hang in there!
