Oh, babes! I hear your pain and I can relate to this situation. I was also involved in abusive relationships. They can destroy your ego along the way, I hear you loud and clear.

You have the capability to heal and repair your ego. It takes a lot of time and patience, but it is doable, even if it seems like there is no way to get there now today.

Healing our self-esteem is the most important goal we can set for ourselves. I have been working on healing mine for years now and slowly, as my self-esteem has gotten stronger, my life is coming together. Maybe, if you feel ready to, you can talk to your therapist about how to do that. It is your choice when and what to work on, babes. You set the course and the pace.
