FreeingMyself, you're being forced to accept the reality of
"Letting Go and Letting God"!
I suggest you identify the irrational beliefs in the toxic relationship which prevent you from becoming detached. Address these beliefs and replace them with healthy, more rational ones. Identify all of the reasons why you are being hurt and your physical, emotional and spiritual health that is being threatened by your reality.
Accept and admit to yourself that no matter what you say, do or demand you will not be able to control or change your reality. Accept that there is only one thing you can change in life and that is
you.
All others are the
unchangeables in your life. Change your expectations that things will be better than what they really are. Hand all your
unchangeables over to your Higher Power and let go of the need to change them. Work out reasons why there is no need to feel guilt over
letting go and being emotionally detached from this relationship and
free yourself from guilt as you let go of the emotional
"hooks" in the relationship.
Affirm yourself as being a person who
"deserves" healthy, wholesome, health-engendering relationships in your life. You are a good person
and deserve healthy relationships, at home, work and in the community. Gain support for yourself as you begin to let go of your emotional enmeshment with your relationship.
Continue to call upon your Higher Power for the
strength to continue to let go and detach. Continue to give no person, place or thing the power to affect or impact your feelings about yourself. Continue to detach and
let go and work on your own self-recovery and self-healing.
If you still have problems detaching, then return to your initial step and begin all over again.
