What else can I do to heal after two rounds of therapy?
Is it normal to still be angry three years later even if I’m married to a wonderful man?
Since my breakup with the narc I’ve seen two therapists for about six months each. The second one was more helpful and gave me some coping tools.
I have not seen or heard from my ex in 3 years since we broke up. Can’t tell you where he is or what he is doing. I don’t want to know and won’t find out because he lives states away from me and we have no mutual friends.
I feel guilty that I didn’t do more to protect future victims. He wasn’t violent so I’m not sure what I could have done. I just have a terrible suspicion he did the same thing to someone else with the emotional and verbal abuse.
I feel embarrassed that I let myself get into that situation and I feel like my friends and family judge me for it.
Is it normal to still have strong feelings of regret and remorse even if I won in the end? I’m doing so well and so happy in my marriage. My current life is proof that my ex was a narcissist and I was not.
