How does an abusive relationship affect you moving forward?

[Anonymous]

Doesn’t have to be physical abuse. Can be verbal or emotional. How would it change you in relationships to come?

Imagine knowing for sure something bad is about to happen, you brace for it, you know for sure the bad thing is mere seconds away.


Nothing happens.


This feels strange. Almost unnatural.


It’s confusing.


The reality finally sets in that what you experienced in your last relationship was not normal.


It takes a long time to get used to being treated better.

I’m extremely flinchy now, My trust issues are through the roof, any sign of arguing and I’m automatically thinking it’s gonna lead to me being hurt so my first instinct is to explode, self esteem went of the window also Lmfao

No one dares to hurt the stick girl, caveman tony won't allow such thing to happen 👹
Sweet ladies should be supported so they keep smiling to release these positive vibes around them...
Don't have a low self esteem because you miss nothing, you're a pretty girl, strong and a loving mother who takes good care of her babies, be proud of yourself and keep smiling, don't let a jerk makes you lose your self esteem 😌

Always a little hesitant. Overthinking and investigating sort of expecting something to happen at some time...
