I know he can't change over night, and I'm starting to get back to my old self. I broke up with him, but he's been such a huge part of my life for so long, it's hard to completely cut him off. I try so hard every day to not take him back. He tells me he loves me every day. I don't want him completely out of my life because I don't know how to do it without him. But I know that if he is even in my life just a little, I'm not going to be any stronger. How do I not break his heart, because I do care about him, and my own heart, while still maintaining my freedom and independence?

Dear Anonymous,
When you say that he abused you, do you mean physical? If so, I understand why you kind of want to let him go. The question is, do you still love him enough to hold on and see the new guy he is trying to become? It seems like he is changing for you. Give it a week or two. If you feel hurt or afraid of him at all, you may want to let go, for good.
