It's hard to leave an abusive relationship because it's comfortable. Although the relationship may not be easy, it's easy to continuously go back to something you know. They say it will never be the same and they'll change this time but it's always the same with them. It will never change and staying with someone who doesn't treat you the way you deserve is making you miss out on so much good. There are good relationships and good people still left in the world. Don't let one relationship stop you from finding the actual love of your life. The one who will hold you up when you are weak, and make you laugh until cry. Abusers isolate you from things you love and that make you happy so it's easy to be with them because it's all you know. Be strong. I know you can!

Abusive people are ALWAYS the best manipulators. They tell you everything you want to hear. They make you feel crazy for even being upset about the cheating or abuse. It's totally fucked up how they mess with our minds. The ONLY way I was able to get away from my abuser was to block him from every aspect of my life. My phone, social media.. etc. I had to stop hanging out with people I thought were my "friends"... because he would lie to everyone about me. I couldn't take it anymore. I knew I deserved better and I refused to let myself feel that way ever again. Be strong. It hurts because you cared for this person and they broke you. But this pain will come again and again if you don't stay strong now. You will wake up one day and be so happy that you walked away when you did. No one deserves to be abused or cheated on. You will find someone who loves and respects you. Don't settle for anything less than everything you want.
