18yo me ended up in a abusive relationship, which was almost a folie à deux, psychosis or culty mentality. i was pretending to be a christian till i met him. but my sexual life and phylosophy classes made me question everything about it. so as i was so naive, i replaced what i believed as god to a shared god complex with this exboyfriend. it was a extremely bad situation, my family already kicked me out of their house and i never felt so alone. all i had was him, but when it ended, i felt like everything was associated with him, even my dead name and his name (lais/luis). i couldn't even look at the mirror, i felt haunted. i was weighting 43kgs, and people thought i was sick (and i was, mentally). a year after, approximately, i read a book called "the spirit of intimacy" by Sobonfu Somé and i learned the "soul separation ritual", which is like a divorce but in a spiritual level. i asked him to do this with me, and we did it. and it actually worked.
