@healingwithemilyg: One of the worst parts of healing from abuse is realizing how little compassion people have for you when they think you’re choosing to be abused. #narcissisticabuse #narcissisticrelationship #narcissisticabuserecovery #emotionalabuse #traumahealing
THIS. The person drowning you is the person who gives you air.

The frustrating thing is that I left but we cannot leave each other alone. I know he’s terrible for me but I cannot officially end it for good.

She had the cops take me to the mental hospital against my will. I ended up being deemed completely fine and had to find my own way home at 3AM. When I got back I had to put my bed back together because the cops broke it while dragging me out of the house. And when I finally laid my head down on my pillow after that traumatizing night, the only thing I wanted was for her to hold me. I was so deeply disturbed that I had that thought that it acted as a wake-up call to leave her.

“Why don’t you leave then if I’m that bad” “I’m not holding you here” but yet won’t let you leave and harass you to come back

Your content has genuinely helped me so much in my healing journey after an abusive relationship with my ex, who had strong narcissistic and antisocial tendencies. You’ve helped me understand and put words to so many things I went through, and I’m truly grateful for that. I really hope you keep doing what you’re doing because you’re genuinely inspirational 🫶🏻

They see you as pathetic because you “let them” abuse you because they see it as “easy” I’m convinced they like the challenge of domineering people.

Yes to all of this. On a totally separate note - I LOVE you haircut. I cut it myself this short but doesn’t look great, so going to salon next week. Is there something you specifically ask for?

According to my ex, I was a responsible adult and he didn’t make me stay if I didn’t felt safe

"if im so horrible, why are you with me?". it throws you for such a loop. after four years i realized that by staying after he says shit like that, it just reinforces in his head that what he's doing isn't wrong and if it was, i would just simply leave. i feel like it's my fault

and if they lie about the reason as to why theyre leaving! my ex did this! said he was struggling with his mental health and needed space- really he had been cheating and was moving into a new house with his sidechick! I went from being heartbroken and terrified for him and our family, to fucking pissed. he WANTED me to think there was something to fix cuz thats what I did and he knew of he had just been honest I wouldnt give two fucks if he left and would have kicked him out instead. but he had to make it seem like he was the victim and he was struggling like always.

There was a handful of behaviours that used to really hurt me: she would shout at me and she would ignore me when talking to me. To me, these were things I considered to be simple to fix. So I stayed asking if you could just stop these things that hurt me (aka basic respect), then everything will be fine. I stayed thinking it’s so easy for me to listen to you and not shout at you, you’ll figure out why it hurts me one day. But they never did - they discarded me sooner than understanding that.
