Is it normal to be so twitchy?

I just got out of a really bad abusive relationship that I spent the last year trying to save. It was such a nightmarish ordeal and I was so messed up by it I only just recently realized that I was being totally abused. She'd set my things on fire. Break my cell phones. Throw food in my face is just made her. Constantly degrading me and trying to make me change. And somehow convincing me its all my fault. And now, I'm almost afraid of women. I've always kind of taken offense to people that say 'that woman makes men turn gay' but now I kind of have an idea of what they mean. I recoil when someone tries to touch me and I shy away when I see someone eying me. Can someone tell me when this is supposed to end? Because I want to move on and purge this siren from my mind and body, but i can't because she freakin wrecked me so thoroughly. Maybe time is what I need...

    And id totally expect shit like that if I were a thieving, lying, cheat that gave her herpes. But I was a good bf I thought. Gave her massages whenever she wanted because I used to do it professionally. Did her dishes and cleaned her place when I'd get there before her when she'd still be at school. Did all the "man stuff" in her apartment like putting all her furniture together and fixing her sink and shower and gas when the maintenance people wouldn't show. I met her parents and they loved me. It's like the better it tried to treat her the crazier she got. I don't even know what the hell the deal was lol. I don't need counseling I don't think. I'll shake it off eventually.

    You need to go see a someone. There are groups in place for people of victims of domestic violence, there's no shame in going and asking for help.
