But it just left me feeling like I've been changed somehow by my ex's actions. I can't even appreciate love or romance anymore. What's even the point of life?

I don't know if this helps... what you're feeling, like you've been changed, can't appreciate love or romance or see a point to life...is part of PTSD from what you experienced at Ex's hands. I'm sorry you're facing this, it's really difficult, and I remember how it feels like. I do believe happiness and a measure of peace is possible, but it takes time and supportive others. The prolonged interpersonal trauma you've experienced strips away the self protective "illusionary" glow people who aren't traumatised tend to have.
Sending hugs, if that helps.
