I left my ex husband over a year ago, but still sometimes I feel like he is still in my head... I did something really stupid and now I am feeling like he was right about me..... his favorite nickname for me was whore..... does this go away?

Any kind of abuse scars us and although i dont think it ever leaves us, we learn to love ourselves and we heal a little each day.
He wasnt right about you, he was an evil man who was trying to belittle and hurt you. Youre beautiful and strong. Everyone makes mistakes and it sounds as if youve learned from yours, dont beat yourself up about it. Try to move forward with more love and respect for yourself.Youre fragile and you deserve good things.
Good luck, take care

All I have to say honey is STOP IT. You are not a whore not matter what you done, we all do stupid things at some stage of our lives, life is a learning curve for us all and to me it can never be truly mastered. You ex is the one who has lost out on a good thing just remember that. You are a far better person without him. Hugs

Look, this guy was abusive and said things to make you feel bad about yourself and lower your self esteem, because he knew that you were too good for him. Stop the tape, rewind and record over his negative crap with positive stuff about you. Whore hell, everyone likes sex; yes even women. It's great to relieve stress and tension. You will be fine and it does go away; it takes time and effort on your part, but you have already won half the battle by leaving. Give yourself some props.
