I am pretty certain I am trauma bonded to my abusive husband (whom I am leaving).

I kept hearing this term lately and was told I am "trauma bonded" to him. At first, I disagreed, in thinking no, I just truly love him.

The attachment I feel to him is for the good parts of him only and wanting just those parts of him. That attachment is strong.

Then when I think of all the abuse, I am disgusted, it's sooo disturbing, and I want to RUN the other way. It's the good parts of him that I am bonded to, and for which I feel something.. it's the good parts of him that I miss dearly and want.

So what is a trauma bond? And how does one break free from a trauma bond?
