Grief and rebuilding life

After three years with a man that I loved and gave my life to, he broke up with me. I didn’t set boundaries and that is what I learned from this. I gave him all of my time, put him before everything, everyone, and myself. I built my entire life around him, lived in his house, helped with his kids, met his every demand. I endured withholding, neglect, and a lot of other things that left emotional wounds. I became resentful and I coped in unhealthy ways that I regret. Then he broke up with me. Now I have to find a home, and I’m far from everyone I know. I still live with him and it’s painful. I struggle with grief, anxiety, low self esteem, and depression. I have only one friend who lives far away. I can’t afford therapy and I’m trying so hard to heal myself so I came here hoping to find support and comfort. Today’s been very hard with the sadness. I feel like I have let my kids down and that part is the hardest, the shame.

You haven't let your kids down.

You loved someone and gave your all and he treated you badly.

You deserved better.

Now day by day, you deserve to heal, to forgive yourself for staying with the wrong person and to realise you deserve to be happy and cherished and to receive the same energy back that you put into a relationship 💜💖
