married 27 years now, been separated for 7 of those years and I allowed him back into my life and my bed about 4 years ago. He cheated and abandoned our children and I. I was in inpatient treatment when he moved his meth monster into our home pushing our children out of their home, she still to this day is in his life. He has caused me so much heart ache and pain, he through our family away like it was trash so why in the hell did I let him back in? our 21 year old daughter still lives with me so he just comes and goes as he pleases, making it impossible for me to move on. I feel like I am less then I really am. I was going doing well those first few years. I am 48 years old and I have had his last name longer then my own, he's all that I know and I feel so stuck

i let my ex come back after he destroyed me too, and i kept asking myself why i opened the door again when i KNOW what he did. but after decades with someone, they become woven into your whole identity. that kind of attachment doesn’t just switch off
that sounds so tough, dont be too hard on yourself ❤️
