      How do you deal with like micro aggressions within your abusive relationship?

      I’m not facing anything physical but it seems that all day I get snippy little comments about things I’ve done or ways I’ve said or done things you know?

       

      I find myself biting back a lot recently and then obviously when I do, I’m the villain.  Like stereotypical gaslighting. When I react its like he’s never said a word and I then get name calling thrown at me.

       

      What can I do to like  stop myself from over reacting?

      Are you over reacting?

      Or does he know how to trigger you and is poking you until you pop to do exactly what you said and twist the narrative into you being the villain for his own benefit.

      Have you read Lundy Bancroft’s book, Or looked into reactive abuse. Sometimes just recognising their tricks helps you catch yourself before you pop
