While I was in this relationship my boyfriend made me lose my friends, my family and my connection to the outside world. He made me lie and he also cheated on me. I am still in love with this person and I know I shouldn't be. What can I do to get over him?

Hi,
It's hard because he was controlling you. Now that he's gone there is a part of you that misses this control he had over your life.
Look at this as an opportunity to re-connect with the friends you lost. Give one of them a call and tell them all about what an arsehole your boyfriend was. This is how we get over bad relationships, we talk to good friends and family who provide us with support.
Your boyfriend took all that away from you, now you can get it back. I'm sure your friends will be very willing to talk to you again especially if they know that you are out of the clutches of this controlling jerk.
The biggest worry for you though is to make sure you don't go out with another man like him. For some reason, these men always have a girl on their arm , a girl they treat like dirt but who keeps coming back for more. Try and see yourself as a worthwhile individual who deserves respect, and listen to your friends, if they think your next boyfriend is a copy of your old - chances are they will be right.
