As most of you likely know, I have a wonderful, loving boyfriend now. He treats me as I should be treated -- with respect & kindness -- at all times. I love him very much.

However, I am still having trouble getting past my ex's last words to me that were so very cruel and so very hurtful to me. I gave that a-hole everything & bent over backwards to help him, but then in the end all I got was extreme cruelty. It took everything away from me.... and left me bitter, angry and resentful of all that I had done for him.

So, how do you get past cruel words??? They haunt me still, even though I am in love with someone else and am very content & happy with him. I have moved on for the most part, but that cruelty in the end has really stuck in my craw, and I cannot let it go.

I should add: this ex was also very abusive and unstable.
