Will God forgive me for abusing my ex?

Unless you're Catholic

Or Lutheran, or Methodist, or Wesleyan, or Anglican, or Eastern Orthodox, or Oriental Orthodox.

**thinks its really odd that so many people see Christianity as Catholic or Protestant**

Back to the OP, it sounds like you've humbled yourself quite a bit and you feel terrible about what happened. IMO, I think God probably has forgiven it.

Forgiveness doesn't mean that all the consequences of your actions go away. If you break my favorite guitar that I've had since college, I may forgive you for it, but it's still broken.

Will God forgive you? Most likely. Have you repented? It sure sounds like it. But... Can you forgive yourself? Can your ex forgive you? Perhaps you should, not as a "trying to get back together" thing, but just as an end in and of itself, ask her if there's anything you can do to make up for the harm you've done her. One part of forgiveness is atonement. It's not that God can't forgive you unless you atone; it's that it may help you find repentance and closure.

You don't need to attone for your sins just ask forgiveness and repent. That's what's so amazing about our FATHER in heaven. Jesus already attoned and paid for ALL our sins by dying on the cross. All sins no matter as small as a little white lie or as serious as murder were attoned for by the blood of Jesus, so we need only repent and humble ourselves before HIM and seek forgiveness. I'm not saying that your shouldn't try and make things right, but if that door is closed for some reason, you shouldn't let that stumble you in your walk with GOD. foofida, just keep praying and let GOD guide you.

Congrats on your baptism!
