Abuse is what they do. If not with you then with someone else. They cannot help themselves. Mine has started on his next victim, and also my son. All we can do is protect ourselves the best we can and hope his mask slips sooner rather than later. This was something I struggled with in the early days. He was love bombing someone else, as time went on, I began to realise that the real him was a monster and the love bombing was just a big act. Their mask will always slip x
