To bear the brunt of something that went wrong for your abusive exh when he is in the love bombing phase of a new relationship?
I had an incident with exh last week where he totally went verbally nuts at me over nothing. There was a slight school issue with our eldest dc (nothing to get worked up about or worry over), and he twisted it all saying I was giving him a guilt trip when in fact it he was making me feel guilty for a decision he then decided to make and he said I was being selfish.
I wondered if bc he was in a new relationship and maybe something had upset him with that or work he took it out on me because I was the easy target and he would not want his new gf to see the real him.
Is that a behaviour trait in abusive people to target the ex rather than current partner?
