No one can make you feel 'less than' unless you let them.
Sweetie, why do you let him still have this power over you?
Your XH is still running looking for happiness because he either can't or refuses to look inside. His choice and nothing you can do about it.
That's why he would run you down because it was the only way he could try and make himself feel better. That wasn't working anymore so he escalated and continues to do so.
You're free of this now and it's your choice what you do with this gift.
