Relationship I Finally Did It And I Feel Horrible.

You did absolutely right in cutting him off. Sounds as if you both my have PTSD of different degrees. If you have to fear his rage or put up with "poor me" crap, you may have serious PTSD just from his continuing manipulation. It is healthy for you to call his bluff. Bullies are cowards, and they get angry (and sometimes dangerous) when they are exposed. So if that's what's happening, distance is best for you and your kids.

It took me 11 years to get the guts to totally split from such a toxic relationship. I already had lifelong PTSD when I met her. Now I'm successfully dealing with the further damage from knowing her. Admire yourself for your courage. Things will get better.

@Tanishq Thank you. That's what I needed. I feel too much, too deeply, sometimes to a fault.

@gizmo Thank you also! I know this is all true, I just need help and support to realize it! I need the truth spoken to me!!!!

@stillstanding Thank you as Well! I do have PTSD to a smaller extent and this is destroying me so much. He always says he's more worried for me bc I've lived thru worse, but I feel the same for him. That's why it's hard.
