5 formas en las que cambió tras una relación emocionalmente abusiva

Abandonar una relación abusiva es una de las cosas más difíciles para cualquier víctima. Es un paso enorme que requiere mucho valor y fuerza.

Nevertheless, sadly, your troubles usually don’t end the moment you leave your abuser.

Lo cierto es que una relación tóxica de este tipo suele dejar cicatrices en la persona que sufrió los malos tratos.

That is exactly what happened to this girl—her emotionally abusive relationship changed her in more ways than she could count.

1. Tiene problemas de confianza

Every woman who has been through any type of abuse, including emotional, can’t avoid having strong trust issues when she finally breaks free from an abusive relationship.

However, something like this is completely normal—the person she loved the most and the person she was ready to trust with her life was the one who made her life a living hell.

Entonces, ¿qué puede esperar exactamente de los demás?

This was the man who swore he loved her, the man she thought was the one she’d spend the rest of her life with and he ended up betraying her like this.

Naturalmente, piensa que todos los demás son como él. Está convencida de que todos los chicos que conoce tienen la intención de hacerle daño y romperle el corazón de nuevo.

Nevertheless, this doesn’t just go for the men she meets—she feels the same way about almost all people in her life.

Everything this girl’s been through made her think that there doesn’t exist a person in this world she can count on.

Besides, the worst part is that she doesn’t believe herself anymore. She made the wrong choice once so that has to mean that her judgment-making skills are non-existent.

Esta chica ya no cree en su intuición ni en su instinto y se cuestiona cada decisión que toma, pensando que es la equivocada.

2. Su visión del amor está distorsionada

After all that has happened, this girl isn’t sure what true love is anymore. Everything she believed in and all the things she thought represented love turned out to be wrong.

This girl is convinced that she wouldn’t recognize the guy meant for her even if he showed up right in front of her.

She is scared that she’ll continue with these unhealthy relationship patterns forever and that she’ll never manage to reprogram her brain into seeing love the right way again.

3. Se volvió reservada

Como todas las víctimas de malos tratos, esta chica también se volvió demasiado cuidadosa a la hora de dejar entrar a gente nueva en su vida.

She’s been through hell and she knew that she had to find a way to protect her vulnerable heart from getting crushed all over again.

La única forma de hacerlo era construir gruesos muros a su alrededor y actuar sin corazón con todo el mundo.

La única manera de hacerlo era volverse reservado y no dejar que nadie vea sus vulnerabilidades nunca más.

And that was exactly what she did—she became a closed person who didn’t open her heart to love.

Una chica que se condenó a una vida de soledad por miedo a que le volvieran a hacer daño.

4. She isn’t sure if she’ll find love ever again

Otra cosa que cambió de esta chica es el hecho de que ella renunció al amor .

Antes de que este hombre tóxico entrara en su vida, pensaba en el amor como en un cuento de hadas y estaba firmemente convencida de que su felices para siempre llegaría tarde o temprano.

Nevertheless, after all the insults and humiliations she’s been through, deep down she began thinking that she wasn’t meant to be loved.

Después de tantos años en los que su maltratador la convenció de que ella era la antipática, empezó a creerle.

This girl stopped believing in love and in soulmates. Instead, she became sarcastic about it, convinced that she’d never find anyone who would treat her better than her ex did.

5. But she is stronger than she’s ever been

However, despite all the bad things her emotionally abusive relationship caused, there was also one good thing it brought her—she became stronger than ever.

She saw that there was nothing she couldn’t take and that she would always survive, whatever life put in front of her.

Esta chica se convirtió en su propia heroína. Se dio cuenta de que podía salir adelante sola y de que es una persona completa sin un hombre a su lado.

And one thing is for sure—this relationship made her become a girl who doesn’t settle for less.

Una chica que sabe lo que se merece y una chica que se quiere a sí misma más que a nadie en este mundo.
