 Been There
Hello, Colfax.
My daughter was in an abusive relationship which came very close to ending her life before she was strong enough to break it off.
What I found was a daughter who was enveloped in a sick relationship, seperated from friends and family and manipulated into a lack of self-worth.
When she made the break, there were many things she had to come to terms with and some she needed to change.
In you situation, I would recommend finding a new job, changing your telephone number, your common non-supportive friends and perhaps your residence.
Continue your education, though. That will be priceless once you get through and it will help change your life for the better.
You have been programmed by bad behaviour, but you will be a victim only if you choose to be a victim.
It sounds like you have started to move on, but your ex is still involved in the sick relationship.
Steer your course away from your ex. There is nothing worth salvaging there.
Don't give her the power over you.
Best of luck to you, Colfax.
