You Don’t Need Closure – Journal Image

The desire for closure is deeply human. You want the final conversation, the explanation, the emotional clarity that makes everything make sense. But the hard truth is this: the person who harmed you is not capable of giving you the peace you’re looking for. They couldn’t offer honesty in the relationship, and they won’t suddenly become honest when you walk away.

Manipulators use “one last talk” as an opportunity, not an ending. It’s a doorway back into confusion, guilt, and emotional entanglement. You go in searching for answers, and you leave with more doubts than you started with. The conversation becomes another round of rewriting reality—a cycle designed to keep you pulled back in.

Closure doesn’t come from their words. It doesn’t come from their perspective or their explanation. It comes from the moment you stop asking someone who cannot validate you to validate you. It comes when you accept that their silence, their avoidance, or their blame-shifting is the answer you were waiting for.

You already know enough. The end of the story is not something they get to decide.
