I feel this way too. And I don't really understand it. I left my husband - I wanted out for a long time. He was emotionally abusive and yet I still think he couldn't help it, he didn't really mean to be. But he wouldn't get help, etc. etc. When it started to get physical, I left.

But I feel so sad inside. I feel all alone and wounded and confused - am I grieving for what I wished for?

Do you know what you are grieving for? It seems very healthy to me that you are reaching out for support. I'm glad you have a therapist who sees what you need and makes the effort to give it to you.
