Emotional Abuse

[Longdale]

I was always one of these people that said I wouldn't fall for emotional abuse and mind games. However I've been posting on here for some time now about my (now) ex and someone mentioned that he was using emotional abuse against me...

Now it all becomes clear...the dodgy texts that he got from his ex that...when confronted...he couldn't "remember" getting.

Evertime there was an argument and he said something out of turn...he "couldn't remember" what he'd said.

Everytime I had a great point to make such as "yesterday you said..." he "couldn't remember" saying it.

The stuff he said to my kids during his strops he "couldn't remember" saying.

I know I should forget about all this now but I'm so angry with him, worse than I was before but I'm also angry at myself. Has anyone else fallen for this without realising?

yes me.

and if you knew me, you would know i am the last person to be abused in this way.
but i was, for yrars becaise it becomes normal amd you dont really know any diffrent.

stay away, stay strong and eventaully you will have another normality

good luck

Me too ..again of you knew me last thing you would expect...they chip away over the years...and sad thing is I don't thing THEY even know they are doing it

Oh Hell yeah!

It's no better than lying.

Another trick is the total denial of an event that YOU KNOW HAPPENED. So you feel like you are going completely insane.

Behavior like this triggered OCD behavior in me, because I couldn't trust things to stay the same.

Don't feel stupid, I am not a dorrmat nor am I an idiot, but it had me hook line and sinker.
