Yes I have separated from my ex partner..
The healing that happened,that began the minute I chose to finally walk away,the healing that came in realising why I chose him to journey with & the awareness of everything our relationship gifted me to heal through,has bought me in the most loving place within!
The inner-standing I have of my wounds,my childhood trauma,the views I had on how love felt for me,why I believed love had to be earned,chased,& accepting of abusive behaviours,was all part of what I unconsciously played out in my relationships,because it’s what I learnt as a little girl.
Don’t get me wrong,my ex was a beautiful man,with the biggest heart,& the “love” we shared intense,but his wounds from childhood & his unconscious patterning, meant he was avoidant,abusive,hot/cold,noncommittal, selfish & angry at the feminine.
My wounds meant my attachment wasn’t secure..I over gave in every area,I changed myself,lost my truth,forgave every behaviour,chased his love,tried to constantly prove I was worthy,kept quiet,felt like I was both too much & not enough.
You see,I grew up with parents that truly loved me,but because of their own wounds,we’re both emotionally shut down,avoidant,that weren’t available,that were at times angry,aggressive & removed their love any time I didn’t fit their expectations..I love them both,& I learnt very young that I had to chase their love & still do..it’s up to me to reach out to them,trying to have a relationship with them both after years of healing myself,which means I’m the one left still having to “chase” their love.
By finally giving my little girl the love that she’s always deserved..by walking away from my ex partner to fully embrace my worth,realising it’s the only way I break the loop,the patterns,the bond that I believed love to be..I finally got to heal..& it’s been HUGE!
I am so grateful for my parents,to my ex partner,& previous partners,all who represented what I needed to see where my deepest wounds lie.
And now..I CHOOSE ME!
I won’t fight,chase,change,morph or beg for love..I choose healthy,safe love,I choose to heal through my wounds that learnt tolerance & acceptance for anything less than!
