If you have conflicted feelings of having done the wrong thing after you have left your abuser which is the Right things that is normal. It shows that you have a conscience, loyalty and such.

No. And you can't bribe someone to treat you well. Either the person is going to respect you or they aren't. You can't say, "Tell you what, treat me well and I'll stop researching abuse." If you're the victim, you have no leverage. The abuser has all the control. The victim is usually not in the position to be making deals and demands. The only thing that will stop the abuse is getting away from the abuser. ~ T
