It's a long and difficult process. Some days will be better than others. But always remind yourself that you're out now. You're out.That is such an impressive thing. That's amazing. You are so, so strong. I'm so proud of you.Look anywhere you can for support. There are groups for people recovering from abuse, there are people online who understand, there are counselors and friends and so many people who want to help you in any way that you can.And every time you find yourself thinking of him, try to be aware of that, and try to change the thought. I know it sounds kind of silly, but don't let yourself dwell on it. Recognize that you've thought of him, and make a decision to do something else that will keep your mind on other things.
