Do not communicate with this person under any circumstance. Keeping them around gives them a chance to re-enter your life and start that unhealthy cycle all over again.Don’t answer the phone if they call, don’t respond to their texts, unfollow them on social media.
Surround yourself with those who care
Spend time with people who will be there for you when you need a shoulder to lean on. Take therapy if you need to, this is not a sign of backing down, just that you want to better yourself.ry it out.
There’s no shame in letting your tears flow. Cry for as long as you want, as much as you want. Don’t hold your tears back because that will only make you angrier over time, not to mention your frustrations might surface when you least expect it.
This makes you more in touch yourself.
You might’ve burned a bridge, but that fire only lights the way. Your situation will make you realize what you don’t want in life. You’ll know what types of people to avoid and when it’s time to walk away.
