Abusive Ex

[kallybabe71]

A while back a couple months, I broke up with my abusive ex. All together it was just a very bad relationship not only was it physically abusive it was mentally and emotionally. He was overall a narcissistic person and I finally got out of it. He abused his ex before he and I had met, but I thought it was all made up I had to find out the bad way and he ended up throwing me into the floor hitting me in the face a couple times leaving blood from his fist on the wall for weeks and etc. I finally broke up with him it was a terrible break up and I think I may have met someone new, I don't know what he thinks of his and my relationship but that's not the point I am getting at. The other night I was sleeping and I had this terrible dream about my ex being back and trying to attack me. Could that dream just be me being scared it could happen again with this new guy?

Thanks!

Hey there,

I'm so sorry that that guy hurt you like that. Abuse is a terrible thing to go through and it makes a person very afraid to try something again. I admire you for moving on and allowing yourself to like someone else. As for how you're feeling, that's completely natural. You're scared he's going to be like the other guy and hurt you. If the dreams are coming over and over again that may be a sign of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder which is really common if you're attacked in any way. If that is the case I really advise you to go talk to a psychologist. It makes a world of a difference! If this guy cares about you then he won't hurt you so you don't need to be worried! You might find it easier to tell the guy about your past so he knows to go slow and to handle things gently! Best of luck in all of this. I hope you and this guy get to be really happy together. Let me know if I can help you anymore!
