    The way I would best describe "coping" after an abusive relationship is you learn how to deal with it on a day to day basis. Some days are better, some worse. A lot depends on the length of the relationship and the type and severity of the abuse. In my situation, it lasted about 10 years and in the end I feared for my life. It has been over 5 years now since I left and I am still untrusting and on the verge of paranoid...LOL. For a long time, I feared every man I met (even my father and brother) and had panic attacks if I thought I was going to be left alone with them. Any sudden movement made me flinch...but time doesn't "heal" all wounds, you just learn how to live with them.

    • I'm sorry that happened to you. My relationship hell didn't last that long, but for a while I went through the same things you did. And I agree - the best way to cope is to deal with it on a day to day basis.
