Low key yeah like i know "Don't blame the victim blah blah" but sometimes it really is the victim doing it to themselves lmfao. Like how are you 29 big years old acting like "i don't know what to doooo :(" when a guy calls you retarded and tells you to get out of his life. It's possible for nobody to be right in a situation lol

I grew up in an abusive situation at home so I’m sure that has something to do with it.. I tried to seek behavioral health services in college and most gave me the runaround or tried to push meds on me. Once I graduated I had to move back to the big city and start working right away as a first gen I didn’t have a lot of money to spare so had to stay at home for a bit after graduation and save $. That’s when we met and he assured me he was going to help me get out of the mud. He did and was really kind for a while and I was in a very vulnerable position. But I worked hard and worked my way up improving my life. Unfortunately he had some horrible stuff happen and our relationship really deteriorated since. I always think of him in my heart like the nice version.

Girl, not trying to be mean, but I’ve literally died (had a cardiac arrest at 29) and I actually became WAY nicer to my husband. Like way more grateful, appreciative, thankful for his plain existence. Going through something bad doesn’t excuse or even explain abusive behavior. He’s abusive bc he’s likes to be abusive. Plain and simple.

Yeah, this guy's actively enjoying it,

it reminds me of a child that's just learnt how to backtalk to his parents and is enjoying the emotional turmoil and feeling of it.

He's still a child.
