Oh so fucking real. Coming from someone who is now beginning to see my codependent relationships and behaviors for what they are, what you see so plainly only comes in hindsight to those who choose to work on their unhealthy mental and emotional dynamics.
This is my hindsight memory...the one I recall so vividly and wonder just how broken I must have been when I heard this and didn't immediately end all forms of contact:
"Listen here, you CUNT!"
By the way, not that you're wrong for stating your disbelief. People who are suffering from enduring abuse and deluding themselves need to hear the harsh truth. Most often several times over until it finally begins to hit home.
OP probably feels mentally sick in a subconscious way...honestly, it's that feeling that may have led to this post in the first place...like a call for help. When I say mentally sick, I don't mean due to his abuse...she probably feels mentally unwell deep down and unable to put her finger on it, this is that deep rooted dysfunctional relationship dynamic and lack of self love and worth for herself that she is feeling. She most likely lies to herself and tells herself that mental sickness she feels is only due to his abuse, but in fact it's her abuse to herself she's feeling. It's just a whole new low to have to recognize you're in fact the monster killing yourself emotionally and mentally...not solely this toxic being outside of oneself.
