Hi everyone,

My ex and I dated for five years. We were both 14 when we started going out back in February 2008. I'm turning 20 in June, & this guy was literally my everything. He was my first love. We were only kids when we began dating, but we grew up and explored the entire relationship thing together, and became very attached. Our relationship wasn't perfect, he cheated on me various occasions & being revengeful, so did I on some occasions. But we were about 16-17 when all of that occurred. I can go on 1,000 pages about this, but I'll try to get to the point. He developed a drug addiction back in 2010, went away to rehab for about 7 months in 2012 because he was court mandated. I stuck with him through the entire thing, spent many sleepless nights sick to my stomach worried over him. I visited him as much as I could & attended 4 hour classes each day before I even got to visit him (that's how that particular rehab worked). It was a lonely 7 months, especially over the summer, but I stayed faithful to him even though he thinks otherwise. After he came back from rehab in September 2012, it was GREAT. We were so madly in love and everything felt mended. However, in December he got distant and left me for a couple days, I later found out he was talking with his ex that he dated when he was 13, and relapsed. We got through that, and then he ended with me again, over text message, April 21 2013. He left me to explore other girls before, but not for this long. Apparently he met her at one of his drug meetings. I just feel so betrayed and abandoned. I go to college, work, and tried to give this guy my all. We had our ups and downs if course, but I can't believe that he jumped into a relationship a week after we broke up. Obviously they were talking when we were together.. I just feel used. He proceeded to tell me how happy he feels with her, an how she appreciates him. But what about me? I'm feeling a lot more than under appreciated considering I got a half-ass break up over text after everything I don't for this relationship. I spent years trying to make us work, keep us together. And with the blink of an eye, he's gone with someone else. All my effort is demolished, along with my self-esteem. I do not plan on contacting him, but some nights it is very difficult. Any advice on how to move on from this heartbreak?

Sorry about the typos. I'm using my iPhone to type this all up.
