Emotionally Abused

I recently left my emotionally abusive husband. We were only married for four months, but i was beginning to fear for my physical safety and my mental and emotional health were pretty much in shambles. The only way I was able to escape was through the encouragement and help of my friends and family.

Even though I know I did the right thing, I still struggle with the emotional weight of leaving. We have been together for a total of four years, and he was the only person I’ve ever had a a long term emotional and sexual relationship with. My entire identify surrounded him and I find myself feeling lost and saddened by how my life has ended up.

Has anyone else gone through an emotionally abusive relationship? How did you heal? Were you angry? Sad? Did you miss them? I just feel so lost and alone, and I know I have an incredible support system, but this is not where I thought my life would be four months after getting married.
