Therapy. Lots of self love, downtime, self nourishment. Dating yourself.
I don’t believe “time heals all wounds”, but I do believe the *best* thing people can do after any form of victimisation from an ex is not jump into another relationship. The only way to truly build yourself back up, and hold the necessary tools/resources to have healthy connections for the future (and spot red flags / cut people off)….. Is to invest in yourself.
It’s what I’m currently doing. I’ve been irrevocably, permanently damaged from my now-ex. But the only one who can stitch me back up together is myself. I’ll be forever littered with scars (figuratively and literally…. God, don’t ask how many of these SH scars have his name…), but what I do now will determine the rest of my future.
Which is therapy. Self cultivation. Self love. Resilience. Power.
Everything I did not have, everything I did not feel, when with him. I gain it now…. So I don’t go through it again.
