I
I have recently left an abusive marriage after 28 years. When I left, he was nice and helped me pack. Then he became angry and after coming to my new place and yelling at me, he stopped talking to me for about a month. During that time, I was doing fairly well adjusting to my new life and preparing for my divorce. Then he came back, calling and texting with requests, demands, questions, and the like. Throughout this whole process, he has apologized and asked for another chance. For some reason that I can’t really understand, I want to talk to him now. It’s like something triggered this pull to answer his calls and talk to him. I fluctuate between wanting to be left alone and wanting to talk to him. Which makes no sense to me, because he was a jerk and I want a divorce. Did anyone else have these types of feelings when they left their abuser? My (adult) kids think I am crazy, but 28 years is a long time to be with someone. Maybe it’s just the comfort of him or something.
