      I haven’t posted in a long time but so frustrated after abit of an argument with the narcs family member calling it 2 ex’s that can’t get along.

      The lack of understanding and acknowledgment is so frustrating that they can’t see that it’s not a case of 2 ppl just simply not being able to get along this is 1 sided abuse form 1 ex to another i feel so annoyed not only on behalf of myself but on behalf of all the women out there that they still yet to feel heard or acknowledged. I feel like some ppl will have conversations with there work friends/family friends or what ever discussions it may be where they sympathise for womens and how awful it is to go through something like that but in actual fact when it is there own family member that is caused any sort of abuse they don’t class it as that, they play it down, the sympathy for the victim is lacking but the sympathy for there family member is all there and the excuses they suffer mental health issues or they have adhd.

      Mental health issues and adhd is not the same as being abusive and should not be categorised in the same breath qs an excuse.

      Oh I hear you!! When my husband told (detail removed by moderator) she sent me a text saying she heard we were “having trouble” and to let her know if she can do anything.

      His (detail removed by moderator) said he told her what had gone on and that she can (detail removed by moderator). Said we’re both under a lot of pressure and she will help wherever she can.

      No!! We’re not having trouble and no…we’re not “under pressure. Your son and brother is an abuser!! That’s two very different things!

      Honestly…every day now I wish he had beaten me black and blue so people would feel I’m justified in leaving him.

      We’re currently living together while I’m waiting for my poor dad to spend his inheritance on buying me a house so I can get away from my husband. And they’re acting like our marriage has broken down.

      Horrendous.

      I don’t know why people can’t recognise it or understand it.
      I haven’t actually told anyone fully about my situation but my one relative, when I said we really weren’t getting on and it’s not a new issue, just says everyone goes through it, normal ups and downs, and expect the stress of xy and z doesn’t help. I don’t have the guts to tell all. Partly the guilt of feeling like a traitor against him and partly because I won’t be taken seriously.
