writes:My ex boyfriend was very emotionally abusive and after seven years together I left him. It took me leaving him to realize how bad it really was. I was so low on myself I wouldn't even look in the mirror. It's been awhile since we broke up and I've moved on and married an amazing man. But I still find myself hurting over the things I've went through. I still hate everything about myself and I still find it hard to look in the mirror. I used to love everything about myself. How can I get over this?

 Well don't hate everything about yourself because there's someone right there that loves everything about you. Now all you have to do is see what he sees. Does your husband know about this? Seven years is a long time to endure abuse of any kind, you should applaud yourself for mustering enough courage to get out of that relationship. When you do look in the mirror what do you see? Ways to get over it, I suggest counseling or going to a support group for people who have been abused and are trying to cope..So that you can understand this is affecting you in daily life and that you need help coping and eventually overcoming your past.
