yeah, that’s not how it works unfortunately. When you have a trauma bond with someone, it can register like an intense physical addiction. trying to leave causes severe withdrawals that makes the abuse feel more tolerable. I’ve tried several times. you wouldn’t know unless you’ve experienced it
again, you can’t love yourself out of an addiction. Idk your situation but if you simply made a decision and left, you weren’t experiencing a complex trauma bond with a. narcissist. Add anxious attachment on top of it and you have a recipe for something nearly impaired to just walk away from. Your nervous system literally will not allow it
