Until recently I really had no idea how battered I was in my last relationship; the emotional blackmail, headgames, silent treatment and false accusations have all left marks on me.

 

But I see them in perfect clarity. I see them when I get nervous about a question because I expect my answer to be used as a weapon against me. I see them when I don't get a response to a text and have to tell myself "Relax, this is not the same person".

 

It's been about 2 months and the exes recent decent into insanity has made it very easy to move on from her, but the wounds still linger. I will not let her win and I know that I am stronger now, smarter and more aware of my surroundings.

 

So in a way I thank her for showing me that I deserve to be treated well.

I know these mind games all too well. I'm in the same place. It's hard to trust after you've been with a manipulative woman.

Your doing well at seeing the truth. You do deserve better.
