      love means you care how someone feels.

      Thinking you love an abuser…. you can’t love someone that doesn’t exist. It’s a manipulation of your feelings.

      I wish I could get this message in my head but I can’t. I’m so scared of my emotions and being sent over the edge without him. It’s the anxiety of not having him there which feels just as bad as the abusive episodes themselves x

      Long term desperate loneliness means you’ll overlook that someone hurts you.

      I’ve been thinking about this a lot today. Reading up about trauma bonding has been so helpful in my early days of escaping. I keep thinking about the good old days then have to bring myself back to reality and remind myself that there actually weren’t any x
