Broke up with my abusive ex after almost 2 years together. I stopped answering calls and text. Made up in my mind that I won’t allow someone to hurt me like that anymore. I’ve been putting in the work to heal and try regulate my nervous system for the past 2 months. Yesterday was my birthday and they used their mother’s phone to call me and wish me happy birthday. It honestly ruined my day because you couldn’t respect my no contact. My mind sometimes forget the trauma of being physically and mentally abused but my body didn’t forget. My sister told she hated seeing the fear in my eyes when I hear their voice. Now I feel like I’ve took 5 steps back in my journey. Everyday I go from being angry to hurt about the situation.
