The abusive relationship includes physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. People think of intense possessiveness and jealousy as a sign of feeling of love. It even seems flattering at the start. Threats, controlling behaviour putdowns are all harmful forms of emotional abuse that can hurt a person. Not just during that time but long after too. Sexual abuse means abusive sexual behaviour by one person upon others. It’s never right to force into any type of sexual experience that a person doesn’t want. 

Leaving an abusive relationship can be the hardest thing a person does. But even when the abusive partner is out of a person’s life, sometimes the emotional and mental effects of that experience can remain for a long time. The person may experience feelings of depression, anger, loss and even symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Breaking up is never easy. First, some range of feelings or emotions to contend with; some of them may stay longer than others. You can take some steps to recover from a breakup.

It may be hard to stop thinking about your old relationship. You may think about the little criticism that your ex said to make you feel worthless or make you think you don’t deserve someone better or something better. 

Maybe it isn’t easy, but this is the time when you need to focus only on yourself and on your happiness. You never did anything for this to happen to you. You deserve happiness. Develop a self-care routine, go to the gym, go to the spa, take a solo trip or do whatever you make feel good and happy. Focus on your own needs and what makes you happy. The only thing that can truly fix your heart is time, and you need about half the time you have been dating someone to get over them entirely or some more time. Everyone heals at different rates.

Take an honest look at your past relationship. And try to see what you could have done better. With every relationship failure, it’s essential to reflect on the part you played in breaking and making the relationship.

This is the place where you need to be honest with yourself about where you went wrong and right. This can be done alone, with a friend or even with a therapist. After an abusive relationship is a great time to begin therapy.

Start working on the goals that help you a lot. Your goals can be anything, big or small, and you can have as many as you want. When you put your energy into achieving your goals and working on yourself, you not only focusing your energy away from your abusive relationship. You are giving yourself the motivation to turn that energy into something positive. 

So, the thing is, that is much more in the world than an abusive and torturing relationship.

The heart-breaking experience of the person has changed him into a new person that he won’t imagine going back into another relationship. The person prefers to be on his own, but if someone comes into his life who values him and shows him his worth, then the person starts to believe in good things in a relationship, but he still does not repeat the previous mistakes.
