Feeling Broken

My husband is splitting up with me because he can’t cope with my Aspergers! To be honest it’s a relief as I’d have left him years ago if he hadn’t trapped me. But i think I’d held out hope that he would change and stop being a complete control freak. But that switch has flicked now and I’ve realised that he will never change and the reality and enormity of years of emotional, financial and physical abuse towards myself and my eldest daughter is finally hitting me. It’s not a good feeling to finally realise how little I mean to someone and the extent to which they have used me to make their own life more comfortable.

  • That's the sort of negative rumination that must be very horrible for you. Can you turn it around to be "it's good to finally be able to break away from a relationship that had become intolerable"

    I think we tend to dwell on the negatives , but that can be very damaging for ourselves.........as I know
