How long did it take for you to stop missing all the good times. Are you doing better now looking back?
When you knew you had to let go of a toxic relationship and you did – how and where in life are you now?

I’m in a much, much better place. I’m in a relationship that’s better suited for me and im happy with him. I can’t fully remember how long it took me to stop looking back on the good times, but I cut full contact w my ex after about 7 months after the break up. It was limited before that because once again, he did something very hurtful. I was in therapy and i put all of my energy into my own life and my pets. I don’t regret leaving. It was hard, and it took pushing from others around me to do it. But if i stayed, i was going to do myself a huge disservice
Well I’m in a much better place. I managed to get the confidence to switch from a toxic job with no progression to a job where I believe I can learn skills and progress. I started a new degree (something which I didn’t have the brain space to do with my ex) and I met a much nicer boyfriend who tries to spoil me when he can.
To me it took me a good amount of months. I was 15 at the time.. it passed a few months which was spent venting on the emotional abuse..where that pain turned into anger.
It was like during that last month of relationship my non-confrontational demeanor switched and I stopped letting him insult loved ones.
I left him definitively by the time it was my birthday lol
Right now I am 10x much better. I became more confident and open, I have a partner who loves me a lot, close friends I see often and I study at university the major I’ve wanted (that during my old relationship I was discouraged to).
