You Left You
Being in a ‘toxic’ / ‘abusive’ / ‘narcissistic’ relationship doesn’t erode your self-trust.
You never had it to begin with.
Hence, said relationship.
You didn’t honour what you knew and felt from the start
because something else was more important to you.
And then shit went sideways as it inevitably would,
and you blamed the other for the hot mess you were in.
But it was you who left you to get something from them,
instead of giving it to yourself.

P.S. Being in a ‘healthy’ (or seemingly healthier) relationship post-‘toxic’ relationship, still isn’t IT if you’re now, once again, looking to another for what you’re still not generating for yourself, no matter how good it feels (for now), because whatever was not truly dealt with will inevitably rear its head.
You’re outsourcing from a supposedly ‘cleaner’ supply, but you’re still outsourcing regardless.
