Hi UCLAFan,

Congratulations on learning how to move on... never fun or easy. When my brain is in the “good common sense” mode I always ask questions like “why did I stay with him, why do I still like him?” I’ve never been the dating type but have gone through three very abusive boyfriends, one after another. After being single for almost 4 years now I’ve been able to look back and see how my low self-esteem played a huge role in making those decisions to be engaged with them. I’ve been able to let go of the past more and see that I deserve better and I believe that in your case you deserve better too.

Be kind to yourself and kindness will surround you. ~ Bee
