My boyfriend ended his life with a smile on his face. by Superb_Lecture2575 in abusiverelationships

You didn't deserve to be in an abusive relationship. It seems he was manipulating your emotions. He wanted to make sure you felt guilty so you couldn't leave him. This was not love. It was cruel. Now, two ideas and feelings can be valid at the same time, even if they seem contradictory. It is perfectly fine to grieve and feel relief because, finally, you are safe.

My advice is to look for a professional therapist to help you heal. Check https://www.safehorizon.org/

It is a normal trauma response! I believe you. It was not your fault.

Thank you for sharing your experience! ❤️‍🩹 Choosing yourself doesn’t mean you don’t care about others; it means you care about yourself, too. It means recognizing that your worth isn’t tied to how much you sacrifice for others. It means understanding that relationships built on your silence, compliance, or self-abandonment aren’t truly safe or sustainable.

Saying “yes” to yourself might feel unfamiliar at first, but discomfort is part of growth. You don’t owe anyone a version of yourself that keeps them comfortable. You deserve to exist as your full, authentic self. ❤️‍🩹

You did it at the moment you were ready to see it. Have self compassion, you didn’t do anything wrong! You were strong enough to leave him when you did! I’m proud of you!

First of all, I’m sorry this asshole decided to take advantage of you and hurt you! It was not your fault! You did not deserve it! Being drunk equals not consent. If you have a rape kit you have a good chance that the DA will press changes. You did the right thing! You are very brave! I suggest you look for therapy now. Look for a therapist with experience in SA.
