I am too codependent on them.

Thats easier said then done. And he has knocked me down so many times, that I am not even sure I can ever trust again, let alone have a relationship. He still tries every single day to contact me in some way and causes me great anxiety and depression. Plus I would rather not be codependant.

Many years ago I had a toxic relationship, there were threats to myself my friends. Tyres slashed, locks broken, telephone cut off, it involved the police, he went to court. I moved a long way to keep safe, I re married I am very happy. My advice to you is find some where he can not find you, and live peacefully. Good luck, hope you have the courage.

I am trying. My friend said I could move in with her, he would never know where that is. Just have to figure out how to get there. More anxiety.👍

I’m sorry you are going through that. I’m also happy you recognized that you need to distance from something or someone who is not a positive Influence around you. It’s really a battle. If you truly care for yourself and this person, see if you can work things out and how they feel about the situation. Focus on yourself and slowly figure out the next step. If it’s time to completely cut the cord then, stand your ground. It is easier said than done but whatever you decide you can get through this!

I understand what you are going through and would love to hear any progress you have made. I feel so stuck and lost. Open to hearing your story.
