need advice please

[oak lava]

How do you have the courage and mentally prepare yourself to leave a really toxic relationship that you don’t wanna leave but you know you need to leave it. I’m a very empathetic person and don’t have a cold heart to hate people that treat me badly. I’ve planned the breakup text to send him but just can’t. I need tips and advice and also what to do after the breakup too. Anything is helpful

list all the reasons of why you should leave, remind yourself that being alone will be hard, but in a toxic relationship it will be damaging, its good to also have a support system of people u can rely on

people who can validate your choices and feelings
