i finally left

i blocked him. i finally ended things between us. after years of this relationship dealing with his manipulation, the gaslighting, his physical and emotional abuse. after feeling like all of the shit he put me through was excusable, after he made me feel insecure, made me question myself and feel like i deserved his mistreatment. his stuff is packed and the pictures are deleted. the memories are destroyed. i still think from time to time “what if i’m wrong?” but you’re never wrong when you choose to put yourself first. i got my strength back, i got my power back, i can move on. i’m proud of myself for having the courage to do this. i love myself so much even though it took a while to feel that way. i’m happy. to the ladies that’s thinking about leaving, to those that are settling..you have the rest of your life ahead of you. you don’t have to keep getting hurt by someone because you have memories or you’re so close to each other’s families. if you feel like your life is dependent on him, find yourself. it may not be easy but it’s worth it. i hope you all stay happy and beautiful
