The confusion is a sure sign of abuse. It happened to me all the time but only with my ex. He would twist everything around until there was no point at all in arguing so for years I just sat there while he ranted. It gets worse. Don’t waste your breath or energy. Here’s something I remember…… “Arguing with an abuser is like playing chess with a pigeon, even when you win, he will knock over the pieces, s**t on the board and strut around like he’s won” It’s emotionally and physically and mentally draining x
