Hello ladies,

I wanted to ask for some advice. Recently I’ve been finding myself experiencing anger. It came after I went through a stage of grief, then guilt.

Right now, I am angry not only at my ex for all the mistreatment he put me through. I am angry with myself for not leaving (although many times I wanted to and was very close to initiating the breakup).

Me staying in the relationship should not be looked at as an “isolated incident”, since there were many factors contributing to my indecision. I want to take accountability for what I allowed in my last relationship with self-compassion.

Ladies, how else have you helped yourselves re-direct the anger? How did you manage to forgive yourselves?
