I 22F finally left my 21M ex for good. Thank you for all your advice… update?

I posted in here about a week ago and it really opened my eyes that my relationship was NOT normal. There was cheating, physical and mental abuse, lying, threatening to cause bodily harm and the list goes on. All of your advice I seen and took into consideration. I blocked him on everything. After a couple days of going on long walks to really clear my mind and taking all the advice, I realized I never wanted to be treated like how I was treated in that relationship. Here are some questions I’m also going to answer from my last post.

1. “How did all your exes know eachother?”…. One of them made a fake Instagram account and found them, put them all in a groupchat once they seen I was on a “break” with my most current ex (I deleted the highlight off Instagram with me and him).

2. “Why did you let this disrespect happen for so long?”…. Honestly I been through so much trauma that I thought that was what love looked like. I only seen “ride or die” love my whole life so I thought if I stayed it would show him I loved him. My self respect and self-esteem was so low.

3. “Did you file a police report?”… yes. The police were here a couple nights ago. I’m still in the process to see where this will lead.

4. “Will you go to therapy or get help?”…. Yes.

Again, thank you to everyone who gave me hard, cold and honest advice. It did hurt the first 72 hours but now I feel better, like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. It feels good to go a full day without someone calling me fat, ugly, or talking down on me.
