I, 28F, was abandoned by my now ex husband, 30M, two years ago right before our 5 year wedding anniversary. It was a bad relationship. I was starving and gas lit on the regular. As in any abusive relationship, there were good times. It's why I stuck around for so long. I miss those moments. I miss having someone to come home to. I haven't really dated since. I'm scared to. My ex keeps showing up in my nightmares. Any advice on how to get past this? I need my sleep back. It's really starting to affect my new job.

Tldr my abusive ex is haunting my dreams and I can't afford therapy
