This message from the trust issue website really helped me let go this week-
"...its a good idea to work on trusting yourself to survive a break-up. If you decide how you will survive the worst that might happen, you won't have so much underlying anxiety -- as compared to saying over and over to yourself that you won't be able to handle it if there is a breakup. If you remind yourself that you've survived all of life's crappier moments so far, you won't feel so panicked about the idea of a breakup."
" ...trust that there is a Plan that a Higher Power has going and you're part of it whether you know it or not, or trust that there's no plan, no higher power, and in a hundred years whatever pain you get into will be over and out of mind. "
Reminding myself that I have survived breakups before, that life goes on, and that I was happy before I met him, really gave me the strength to stand firm in my decision to not allow him to explain what happened, ask politely for my key back (and change the locks just in case), block his phone number, and removed him as a friend on FB. It doesn't matter what he has to say, in MY EYES that's not how you treat a friend, let alone a "girlfriend," and WHAT I THINK IS ALL THAT MATTERS!!!
