Even though they are “out of your life” are they still in control? They might have walked out the door but truthfully have left a dagger in your head. A dagger that doesn’t let your move forward with any serious relationship because of the fear that they imprinted in your skull. Their control even stops you from trying, as images of their toxicity runs through your neurons. It’s time to pull out their dagger, cut the strings and claim you’re true independence then hope will be the guiding light.
