Many years ago, I was entangled with someone who I believe is a narcissist. There was constant mind games, emotional manipulation, name calling, love bombing, coercing into things I didn't want to do and then sexual assault. The sexual assault was gaslighted away, deflected as being my fault or minimized. To my shame, I still associated with this person although I never accepted a lift home with them anymore after that.
The continued to hoover me after that and like a fool, I thought they were remorseful and I fell for the bait. Every time I went back they'd laugh and devalue me.
I am not in the clear in this situation as I should have known better than to enable him.
They tried hoovering again a few years after repeatedly trying to get my attention on my way to work. I don't think it's a real apology as they made a lame excuse for the way the treated me.
Not sure what I'm trying to get out of writing this but I feel such a fool to have compromised so much for someone completely unworthy of my time. There was no genuine respect and they have absolutely zero remorse for the way they treated me.
Thanks for reading.
