People are people.
Every single one is a little tarnished, sometimes dented, often bruised or healing from one.
Some are more twisted and banged up inside than others and some of those take it out on others. I don't believe in the "damaged goods" theories. Outside of psychotics, serial killers, etc., of course.
We're all just works in progress... whether you want to make forward progress or stagnate is up to the individual.
In this case, it sounds like you've made exceptional progress just walking away... you know women go back an average of 7 times before they actually leave an abuser, right?
Consider yourself strong.
And if you're a little more dented or tarnished, celebrate the strength that kept you from breaking.
