I have been in several psychologically abusive relationships in the past among various other psychologically traumatic experiences. Between cheating, sexual manipulation, the threat of relationships or friendship ending being held over my head constantly to schoolyard bullying on a daily basis while being vilified by faculty and punished for daring to ask for help.
So far I have dealt with all of it by pushing it all to the back of my mind and focusing on other things, escapist video gaming being the primary. I somehow think that with a bit of closure it should be easier, but I've never been lucky enough to have closure for anything. It may be hard to believe, but it's true. I have never had closure for anything.
What sort of advice would you have for someone such as myself on dealing with all of these experiences without going completely mad?
That's always been my biggest fear and the reason I've pushed everything so far back.
