It means you wipe your life clean of them entirely It doesn’t mean that you keep a channel open where you can check in on him or a channel open where he can watch you on your journey up and “rEGReT” letting you go.

Keeping any kind of connection with him will only serve to bring more pain. This is of course, barring the unavoidable ones such as coparenting or working in the same place, and even both of those are iffy because if you want to completely break free, you will try to change jobs and if you are coparenting there are ways to do so without getting sucked into drama or staying more connected than is absolutely necessary.

If you hold onto the past it will bury you in shame, regret and self-pity

Don’t do this to yourself

Block them EVERYWHERE
