“left abusive partner after 2 years”

I stayed in an abusive relationship, blaming my partner for my own lack of boundaries. I left after realizing my avoidance was causing harm.

What I wish I knew
"Honest communication is key in relationships."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't blame your partner for your own issues, take responsibility and communicate your needs."
