I was sharing a mindset approach that helped me move forward in my own healing from abuse.
As an abuse survivor, I understand the complex emotions of the victim and how it affected my behavior. I've worked very hard to heal from the damage. If I continued to do everything the same way I always did, I would likely still be stuck in a cycle of abuse. I had to change my behaviors so I could get out of the abuse cycle and live a healthier life. I truly only wish you and your husband a happy healthy relationship.

Thank you for saying this. Are you still with the abuser, or did you leave?

My husband had changed all for the better, just up until recently. And now, he's back to being a loving husband. I still have doubts about the relationship at this point, and I feel confused. I am not ready or wanting to leave him right now, but I don't know if he is going to regress again. I assume he will. I am hoping that a better therapist can help me in my plight and confusion.
