Please advise if it's normal to feel sad after ending an abusive relationship?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lots of reasons: There are a lot of reasons for sadness. Even if the relationship was abusive, an ending is still a loss. You may be experiencing regret for the pain it caused, self-recrimination for staying as long as you did or the time you lost, or sadness at the realization that he was not the person you wanted him to be, or that you could not change him, or the prospect of having to start over. Many reasons.
