Reading this is quite scary. I know abuse is common in relationships, but didn’t realise just how bad the problem was. I too was called paranoid, delusional, and that I lived in a special bubble all of my own. He has manipulated me so much that I totally lost my identity. Now I’m fighting to keep the house my late mother left me before he and I were in a serious relationship. I have to have a lot of mental health treatment and also now physically disabled due to an incident (detail removed by moderator).
