Do you know why you are unable to walk away from your toxic relationship or trauma bond?

I refuse to believe that this is love—because love ended long ago. What remains now is either your stubbornness, your hope, or a challenge you’ve unconsciously set for yourself. A challenge where you believe that the same person who hurt you, disrespected you, and made you feel worthless will one day love you, respect you, and make you feel good again.

You hold on, hoping that their behavior will change, that they will somehow undo the damage they caused, and in doing so, heal your wounds.

But let me ask you this—if you get burned and keep putting your hand in the same fire, how will your wounds ever heal? The pain will only deepen, and the scars will only multiply.

To truly heal, you need to step away from that fire. You need to distance yourself from the very thing that is hurting you. You cannot expect healing while staying in the same space that caused your trauma.

Similarly, to heal from this emotional turmoil, you must break free from the toxic bond. Only then will you give yourself the chance to heal, to grow, and to rediscover the love and respect you truly deserve.

Healing is not easy, and walking away from something familiar, even if it is painful, takes immense strength. But remember, staying in a place that continuously breaks you will only drain you further. You deserve peace. You deserve happiness. And most importantly, you deserve a life where love does not come at the cost of your self-worth.

Choose yourself. Choose healing. It starts with letting go.
