Absolutely I was so over the entire situation but getting over him was and still is the worst part about it all

Such a true statement. The love I had for him, even though he apparently wasn’t the man he had made me to believe he was, is still there. The mental abuse, the walking on eggshells, the trying to please him, and the constant physical threats I am so glad is over. I miss the man he was in the beginning but am no longer illusioned at thinking he would ever change and I now have peace knowing that. I can now actually speak without being screamed at. I can now voice an opinion about something.
