It's been a long 4 weeks for me but I'm not feeling as sad anymore unless I am around him. As it was pointed out by my parents and his dad, my ex had been emotionally and mentally abusing me for years. If he wasn't in control of the situation than he wasn't happy. But now I have joined a dating site, not looking to jump into anything but more so looking for friends and hopefully something can grow from there. I just worry about trusting others because that was one of the things that I had a hard time with my ex. He made lots of promises over the years that were all lies. I honestly can't differentiate his lies from the truth. I think it's a good thing that I have reached this point although I know it can take a lot of time to fully heal from this relationship. He has apparently moved on and is seeking other girls anyways.
