Why do i miss my abuser?

Author

I miss him so much and he abused me and I almost lost my life because of him but I miss him so much and I just want to give him a hug even though he probably wouldn't ever be that kind. my domestic violence support group leader said the feeling probably won't ever go away because of the trauma bonded it's almost like stockholme syndrome. my heart is broken and I can't stop crying.

i went back to someone who hurt me so many times because my brain still connected him with comfort somehow, even after the damage. trauma bonds are SO confusing because your heart keeps craving the same person who broke it

i stopping judging myself for missing him, because i kept thinking missing him meant i should go back. it didn’t. i really hope you’re talking to people outside the support group too, and if those dark thoughts start getting heavy again please reach out to a crisis line in your area, don’t sit alone with it.
