That is a very good article.

That is a very good article. I still have anger towards my XN, but I feel it's healthy anger. It is what will keep me from getting sucked back in. It doesn't consume me, but I can't remember the last time I had a positive thought about him. I'm sure it was quite a while before we even broke up. If I think about him it is always something negative. And I believe it's healthy to feel this way. I'm finding as time goes on I think about him less and less, but when I do, it's still negative.

Now I realize that I wasn't with him because I thought he was a great person, it was because he made me believe he was a great person. He had me ignoring so many red flags it makes my head swim now.

I just have to remember where that anger for him is tucked away so that in weeks or months or years down the road, if he finds me, I will have the strength to once again tell him to piss off.

Thank you for the post

Great to hear it reinforced in this article,,once again,,until you have gone through it, or truly understand it, other will not understand what you have been through.. Glad they have an article about it.
