    They attacked me in the middle of the night, beat me up and lied to the police saying I attacked them so I was in jail for 3 days (my case ended up being dismissed by the judge). That was the last straw. I moved in with a friend and it was the distance away from them that made me realize all of it was abuse. Not just the physical abuse but the psychological and emotional abuse too. You can see things a bit clearer if you distance yourself from the abuser.

      Yeah, for me it was more the narcissistic behaviour, the type of behaviour that was manipulating and made you feel like shit all the time, and thing is I had to break up with them the same week my father died

        Yeah I dealt with that too, as well as the constant projection and gaslighting. My stress was so bad I became chronically physically ill on top of being mentally unwell.

        I’m really sorry that happened to you. I hope you are doing better now.
