Everyone has really bad breaks ups throughout their life. No one's perfect. My ex wasn't perfect and I know that I'm not either. This past summer, I was in a  relationship that left me feeling used, hurt, lost, angry, and a bunch of negative emotions. But over time, I am learning to pick my back up and with the love and support of family and friends, I know that I'm not alone and that it's extremely important to cut out toxic people in your life. 

If there's any grammar errors, I'll go back and fix them later as well as make cover art for this poem.

Trauma Ruined My LIfe (The Real-Life Journal Of An Abuser)

17 parts Complete Mature

It was October 2023, and my now-ex-fiance had moved out of our trailer for good. I decided to end our relationship and thought I had emotionally moved on from them. I was wrong-dead wrong. What followed them moving out was something I could not have ever thought to experience. I began to experience extreme mood swings, controlling behavior, self-esteem issues, and a new-found addiction to alcohol. This was just the tip of the iceberg, as I was constantly flirting with suicide on a daily basis. I could not begin to even tell you about how I went through an emo phase, a "man hoe" phase, and multiple other phases as well due to my deteriorating mental health. I began to document my everyday life after our split through two separate journals over a twelve-month span. This is the true tale of how a breakup brought me to the realization that I was an abuser and that I became the same monster that I swore not to become as a kid. This is how trauma ruined my life, and how it will ruin yours too.
