Haunted by my past abusers

AERoplane

Within two months of getting out of an abusive relationship I have had not ONE but TWO of my abusers contact me. I stared a case on the second one but I’m loosing my shit rn. I am one step away from making terrible decisions and I have no idea what to do or how to ask for help. I wanted peace but my past is just haunting me now.

      PLEASE do not talk to your past abusers! They will never let you forget them and they will do anything to use you again and again! In order to learn the warning signs, and to learn how to find the good ones, you must leave those people alone for good. Learn how to create healthy relationships with healthy men! I always wanted the "bad" boys because they were more fun! But, I quickly learned that it was the worst thing I ever did! Please seek a counselor that can help you make healthier decisions!

      Do you know what I would love to tell myself if I could ever go back in time..i would tell myself not to do it. Not to go back to him. Now it is done. I can never go back.

      I understand what you’re going through, if you think it would be helpful to talk to your family pull aside the family member you trust the most and tell them. Ask for their advice about telling the rest of the family. I feel like a different person because of my trauma as well and it is an awful feeling, I hope you can find an outlet that will help you decompress.

          @AnimalBoy Unfortunately I can’t block them yet BUT I will have no contact with them. I’m worried about talking to my family because they don’t seem to be the comforting type but I know I need to now more than ever.

      During abuse you loose a lot of your identity in it. If you wanna chat I’m here, some of the things that would help are finding passions, drawling, remember your favorite movie watch it a bunch of times, pick your favorite color again, find a new style. Try to remind yourself time does heal and you’ve made it through some of the worst parts and are still standing. You’re an amazing person! I am praying for you ❤️

        @AstraPenn thank you, I feel that I’ve very much changed from the abuse. I’ve actually been thinking about skating and pickup up the guitar!

      Hey, can you take a moment away from their messages and tell me every reason why they were bad/abusive?
