If you're having a hard time dealing with your past relationship, and it's affecting your current relationship, then maybe you should see a counselor or therapist about this, or a group therapy for abused women or something like that. If you can't find anything in your area, maybe look online for a support group, discussion forum or websites for overcoming abusive relationships. There are professionals out there whose job is to help people work through these issues, and you may make a lot more progress with them than you would alone.
