That is almost an exact one that I wrote! It was “I don’t deserve abuse from anyone, including myself”. Referring to my past toxic relationship. I sometimes blame myself for that too because I stayed so long and I guarantee we would still be together if he hadn’t passed away. But I’m trying to forgive myself for that too.
