Everybody talks about the pain of going through a toxic relationship, the heartbreak of it all, even, once it all ends. However, nobody really talks about the aftermath. The toxic tendencies that you unwillingly adapt, the constant overthinking and need for constant reassurance, the trust issues that ensue when you finally find the one but can't help but feel like it will just crash and burn like you're used to.
So, here's all the nights I found myself in the midst of healing. All the nights I thought I wasn't good enough for the angel boy that showed up when I felt unlovable and made me face all the broken bits of myself. But instead of leaving, helped me put it all back together again.
Here is the aftermath.

The leaving 11 years on on going stopped up dating for a awhile
The leaving. It was hard, tragic , painful, yet it had to be done, I needed to save my life. I didn't want to start again, this would be the story of finding myself, pulling myself back together, reuniting the happy go lucky youngster I had once been. The shock of leaving took more of a toll on me than I thought it would. I had asked two people to help me move out of the house I had shared with my partner for 8 years, we had been together 23 years in total. The move was done in total secrecy, my partner could never know in advance, it was a very scary time. I had moved various things out of the house and secured a rent on a property nearby. The house I picked was near the School the children went to, and my oldest lad was going to be near his best friend. My Mother told me of the property it was advertised on the web, we both went and had a look, even that was scary, I didn't want to be seen by anyone and became paranoid that I would be caught out. For many months I lived on a new kind of fear, the fear of someone finding out that I planned to leave my abusive partner, though of course no one knew my seemingly happy, funny, generous partner was abusive. Finding the house was one thing, getting the various companies to connect the house and exchanging the information of my current address so they could varify that I was, who I said I was almost drove me mad. The day came to leave, My Mother and a very dear Friend came round as early as possible, we packed as much as we could. This included taking the boys clothes, bedding, toys, stuff from the garden, my stuff. We had 3 cars the packing seem to take all day. By the end we had to get going to be able to unpack, leaving me time to pick up the boys from School and settle them in their new home. I couldn't do it at first,I started to cry then scream, to leave the world I had put so much of my life into, and now in a split second would be leaving was breaking my heart.Complete

"You're hurting me..." I whispered. But his grip only got tighter as the pain got even more crucial. "It's what you get for stopping the party yesterday," Liam said. "I needed to," I murmured under my breath in the hopes that he would hear the weakness in my voice and let me go. But at last, it was only hoped that made me think that way. He didn't let go; he wouldn't let go until he taught a firm lesson. No matter how many times I ask and plead for forgiveness, he is never going to go until he is satisfied. "Were you jealous that you weren't invited? Is that why you had to sabotage the whole thing, uh?" he bit his teeth, his voice getting angrier and his hold on me crushing. "Ow.. please...," I said tears rolling down my eyes. He didn't say anything this time just watched me cry, and I could basically see the smirk forming on his lips in slow motion. This is what he wanted for me as if it was never enough for him to see me like this. I waited for him to say something anything, but instead, he let me go aggressively and pushing past me hard, causing me to lose balance and fall to the marble floor. I looked up to see everyone watching me struggle to get up. No one came to help, and I didn't expect them to they watched and laughed and even filmed, but no one came to my rescue. - The fake smiles, laughter, friends I am getting sick of it all. I always felt like I didn't belong anywhere with him gone. It was even worse. It was pathetic that I thought it's okay I will get through this, but I am slipping away falling slowly. The only reason I am still holding on is for my family. But he hurts me, bullies me, breaks me in ways I can't even describe. He has become the worst nightmare, and I can't wake up from it. There is no helping me from his sick and twisted games. After all, he believes I was the reason for the death of his best friend. But I have to hold on only one more year till I don't have to see him anymore. I need to survive as an outcast...Complete
After Everything 1
Unedited* After Everything isn't like other love stories that you've read before. Yeah it's true when people say that love is just a stupid feeling that makes people happy but what if she made people more sad than happy because the moment you think that everything is going well and everyone is happy everything goes upside down... After Everything 1 is also a classic love story of a bad boy who falls in love with a good girl only this time she isn't a good girl anymore. Soo... one day fate will cross two people's paths with fucked up lives and broken hearts, so they could heal or destroy each other. And it doesn't matter how hard they try because in the end promises are just words after all. "He walked into my heart like he always belonged there, then he took down my walls and lit my soul on fire and I finally realized that I had found a natural drug for my panic, anxiety, and anger." 𒊹︎𝐶𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑜𝑟𝑦: 𝑅𝑜𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒/ 𝐷𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑎/ 𝐶𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒 𒊹︎𝔽𝕚𝕣𝕤𝕥 𝕡𝕝𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕓𝕖𝕤𝕥 𝕕𝕣𝕒𝕞𝕒 𝕓𝕠𝕠𝕜 𝕚𝕟 "𝕄𝕦𝕗𝕗𝕚𝕟 𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕤 𝕔𝕙𝕠𝕚𝕔𝕖 𝕒𝕨𝕒𝕣𝕕 𝟚𝟘𝟚𝟘" ❥𝕊𝕥𝕒𝕣𝕥𝕖𝕕: 𝟙𝟙 𝔸𝕡𝕣𝕚𝕝 𝟚𝟘𝟚𝟘 ❥𝔽𝕚𝕟𝕚𝕤𝕙𝕖𝕕: 17 𝕊𝕖𝕡𝕥𝕖𝕞𝕓𝕖𝕣 2021Complete
Beneath The Surface
I'm falling... Falling, helplessly and inevitably; completely at the mercy of the forces dragging me down. Having to trust in an entity's blind intentions and praying to God that they won't let me hit the ground. It's an incredible and horrifying feeling. A feeling that I live for. And I have realized that having something to live for makes you all the more scared of dying. (Constant uploads, and even more editing to older uploads)Complete
