Leaving a relationship, romantic, platonic, or family, can be one of the hardest things we ever do, especially if we loved someone who hurt us.

This thread is for anyone who’s:
Struggled to walk away
Still healing from emotional abuse or codependency
Finally found peace after letting go

What helped you decide it was time?
How did you cope afterwards?

I'm still having trouble fully letting go of family. I keep giving them chance after chance but not a change. I keep setting myself up for more hurt. I've gone no contact with them but I am not entirely at peace with it, which is why I went no contact with them in the first place...to protect my peace. Guard my heart. Only I just feel so alone.
