Will the numbness ever go away...?

So here's the deal, I was in a relationship for 4 years with a guy i went to high school with. We had a daughter together and lived together for 3 years out of the 4 we were together. The last two years of our relationship were not good, we were basically together because of our daughter and we were so used to each other. I mean don't get me wrong, i really did love him...i just knew he wasn't "the one". The last year of our relationship he began to get abusive and thats when things really went down hill, but for some reason i still wanted to work it out. About 9 months ago he came home one night and hit me worse then ever && there was no hiding it considering that some called and got to police involved. Once that happened it was a huge eye opener and i was able to see the whole picture so i finally got up the nerve to leave him && I don't regret leaving him at all. The only thing that really upsets me is that i feel completely numb now. I have not real feelings or emotions towards people. I've tried talking to guy, but something just holds me back from getting real feelings for them and i always put up a wall when it comes to letting them in. I hate this, i just wanna be able to feel that connection again, but i'm truly starting to wonder if it is possible, i feel like that part of me is broken
