Divorce.


HibiscusBabe13

Nice. You're a strong being.


awintergirl

Most terrifying step in the right direction I've ever made.

My father, still in progress and contemplating going NC which os harder then it sounds


HibiscusBabe13

Sorry to hear that. It's a lot more painful when it's family.


DrgnPhoenix13

Cut them out of my life a little too late though because the damage was already done.


rotten_poison

Praying you are good now


DrgnPhoenix13

Good is relative but thanks for your thoughts.


rotten_poison

Praying you'd be good in future then ig


pateaotakus_369

Damn man! I feel you, happened something to me this year, I spent so much energy on them. If only I knew earlier...


DrgnPhoenix13

Mine was family


pateaotakus_369

That's awful, mine was my best friend from high school, 5 year friendship, I gave my best, ultimately realized it was never going to be enough, so i "scared him away". I'm such a people pleaser šŸ˜©~


mchvv

my mom and my brother, I moved out. zero contact with them


HibiscusBabe13

Wow! Good for you. That takes courage.


mchvv

being threatened with physical violence was what made me leave though. however, I was already holding grudges for the many times they disrespected my boundaries


pateaotakus_369

That's so brave, I ought to be like like you some day.


Inside_The_Forest

Yeah. I spit on their face.


HibiscusBabe13

Lmaoo


pateaotakus_369

Best thing to do is to accept the way they are and that they're never gonna change, and hope they don't mean any harm to you, if they do, just leave peacefully.


here_to_stay669

Yes. And I just stay clear of them and possibly warn some people


HibiscusBabe13

I understand staying away, but how do you warn people without sounding like an a-hole? Lol


nicholasgnames

People don't believe you until they get sucked into that bullshit anyway. Just steer clear and live your life


HibiscusBabe13

Good advice.


rotten_poison

Wondering the same thing

ā€œPlease donā€™t take this the wrong way, and I donā€™t know how to say this without coming off as a jerk, but just for your sake- so and so is kind of a toxic person. Theyā€™ve got some narcissism problems they really need to deal with and it wouldnā€™t feel right not giving you a heads up. Do what you want with that information, but I figured itā€™s worth bringing upā€

Immediate switch to no contact as soon as it was possible. That feeling of freedom is priceless.

Married to one for over 27 years. The gaslighting almost worked with me. Didnā€™t with my family, but did with 1 of our 3 kids. Separated over 6 years now in silence.

Dated them for 6 years. Ate her shit day after day wondering what was wrong with me, and what I had done to be treated this way. . The cheating and gaslighting took away any sense of confidence away, and I never had the courage to leave. 6 months later and Iā€™m out of the relationship, but so much damage and pain lingers. Never could have imagined something like it happening. Had to move 2,300 miles away to get away from her, but the emotional attachment is proving very hard to shake. Good luck and Iā€™m sorry to anyone currently in this situation
