Hi, I too have been through a very similar experience with a person who was sucking the energy out of me and I had to cut ties for my emotional energy. However, I do understand how replaying the past in the mind, can draw you back into the same experience and some guilt from removing yourself Ifrom the people who drained your energy. I, found that when this happens to me the way I cope is to send energy to those people explaining exactly why I left their lives. Somehow, this gives me peace in my heart and mind. Hope this helps and good luck.
