How To Break Free From Toxic Abusive Relationship?
You might not even notice when the sun slips away. That’s exactly how it felt with my ex.
When we first got together, everything was pure sunshine and rainbows. We had so many great moments that I thought we were perfect together. But then, out of nowhere, dark clouds of negativity started creeping in. It began with little things — small criticisms, subtle put-downs — but over time, those clouds multiplied until there was no sunshine left in our relationship. I ended up feeling drained, unhappy, and constantly questioning my self-worth.
It took me a while to see the signs. Recognizing a toxic relationship isn’t easy when you’re in the middle of it. But just like the weather, relationships can change if we’re brave enough to see the signs. I had to learn to spot harmful patterns and steer myself toward healthier connections.
