1. You deserve better
We should never settle for anything less than we deserve. After being in a toxic relationship, people often believe that they deserve to be treated poorly. Furthermore, they start to blame themselves for all the troubles in their relationship. However, in order to truly break free from someone who is hurting you, you have to learn to stop blaming yourself. Try to understand that you don’t have to tolerate someone’s ill-treatment of you. This will help you gain closure and make sure that next time, you will end up with someone who treats you right.
Walking away from a relationship is hard. But fighting the urge to go back to someone who has hurt you is harder for some of us. Pain and heartbreak are intimate experiences that take time to heal. Gaining control over how you are treated is an important step when learning how to love again. It is vital to understand that in the end, your happiness is in your hands alone.
