Re: My past affects my new relationship :( - September 14th 2023, 06:31 PM

Past abuse will affect a new relationship, so it’s important to be with someone who you can trust with your trauma. Part or getting into a new relationship is opening up to the new partner about damage from past abuse. In my experience, it’s wonderful to have a Loving partner to help me heal PTSD from past domestic abuse.

Your new partner may not know that something is wrong, so you have to communicate with them. The only way an abuser from the past can ruin a new relationship is if they intimidate you into silence with your new partner. And you can tell everything you need to know about this new guy based on how supportive he is when he hears about your past trauma.
