'Freed' bro going back to bossy ex

HE WILL SOON BE IN TEARS

- 

IN 2024 helped my brother to leave his bossy, controlling partner.

My husband and I whisked him away from their flat while she was at work and gave him a room in our home.

For weeks he sobbed and refused to get up while she threatened to ruin and destroy him. It was a horrible, frightening time but I rescued him.

Now he keeps talking about her in glowing terms and I despair. After Christmas I held a party here and he entertained my new neighbours with several “hilarious” stories involving his horrible ex and their time together. He called her his soul mate.

Now I feel let down and ridiculous. Why did I bother?

I'm terrified he's back in contact with her and that he's going to make the same mistakes all over again.
