I just left a dv relationship i was so hesitant to report him to the police. I don't even know why.
I hate him and what he has put me through but i just feel so guilty for reporting him.
He has been through this all before with his ex... i always thought she was crazy but now i finally understand the length she had to go to get away from him.
I start counseling shortly, i really hope that helps keep him out of my mind.

You are the second woman that he has done this two. He'll do this again.
Did his ex persue legal action?
If so, you can help further her case.
If not, you might be able to prevent another woman going through what you both went through.
There will still be women who will give him a chance, or call you a crazy ex, but at least you'll be able to know that you did all you could to prevent it happening again.
What if it happens again, but the outcome is more sinister? Could you live with yourself, knowing you could of helped?
It is hard to persue legal action against anyone, especially when its someone you use to love.
But you still need to find the strength inside of you to do so.
Protect yourself. Protect other women like you.

Good for you for leaving, you've done the right thing.
Counselling should help, and read up as much as you can on the abuse cycle. It will help you recognise the patterns.
