“I feel guilty for going no-contact.”

Guilt.

That ache in your chest when you block their number. That whisper in your mind saying, “You’re being cruel.”

If you've gone no-contact… and guilt showed up like an uninvited guest… this message is for you.

You didn’t go no-contact to punish them.

You did it to protect you.

And here’s the hard truth most people won’t say:

When you’re trauma-bonded, love and danger get tangled. So choosing safety feels like betrayal. But it’s not.

It’s healing.

Guilt often means your boundaries are working. It means you’re breaking a generational contract that told you to self-sacrifice to keep the peace.

So here’s a reframe:

“I didn’t abandon them. I returned to me.”

You don’t need to explain or justify peace.

Try this: Write a letter—not to send, but to release.

Let your voice say what your silence now protects.

Then read it aloud, and burn it, bury it, or bless it.

Guilt is just grief in disguise.

And your healing is worth the mourning.

You didn’t close the door out of hate.

You closed it to finally breathe.

That, my love, is sacred.
