Will I Ever Feel Good About Myself Again?

Toxic Relationships

Is your relationship hurting you? Destroying you bit by bit? There is hope!!!

If you are in a relationship and it is not nourishing and uplifting to you, something is wrong.

Their are certain feelings we have when we are in a toxic relationship or after we finally untangle ourselves from its grasp. Working our way through this pain is not an easy talk. Walking beside the pain, learning to control it, and not letting it consume us is the goal.

There are many ways we feel during the process of escaping an abusive/toxic relationship. There is no way to list every feeling we experience. Degradation can be primary. How could anyone list them all? Knowing that we are not alone helps tremendously. There are feelings that are common to most all who go through a toxic relationship. The trick is to learn, apply, and keep moving.

Unhappiness: Life has changed drastically. We have lost the person who we loved, maybe even the person with whom we thought we would grow old. Our life is in a shambles. For many we have not only lost our partner but are in an entirely different, strange environment, some with children who do not understand. Unhappiness settles into our very bones. Take heart…
