Over the last 18m I’ve posted under various names. I fell madly in love with an emotionally abusive twat, actually he may have been a Narcissist.
At the worst points I struggled to breathe and function. I was ashamed and didn’t understand what happened. Through your responses I learnt about; cluster B personality types, trauma bonds and intermittent reinforcement etc.
I sought counselling on advice from posters here.
Today I am better than ok. I am strong. Healed and I will never allow a man to treat me like that again.
And after lots of inner work, I’m in a new relationship with a lovely, emotionally stable man. And I’m not displaying the emotional attachment/codependency issues. I am very happy but I’d also be fine with it ending tomorrow.
I value me now. Thank you so much.
