Re: TW: abuse

[(Anonymous)]

I never dated anyone like this, but someone like this did give birth to me. I've also had a "friend" like this once. I'm not in contact with either one and I believe I made the right decision, even though there is some guilt (society says OMG, how can you CUT OFF FAMILY! because FAMILY! which isn't helpful in the least).

To be honest, I think the reason you can't "just" get over it is that you were around them for so long, falling for the BS, letting them get under your skin and sharing so much with them. It fucking sucks, because you feel like you wasted your time on someone who couldn't reciprocate an ounce of fucking respect for you. Time that you could have spent with a person who genuinely cared about you, with someone you could have had better memories with. It hurts. It sucks. Psychologically and emotionally, it cuts deep. It takes time to heal, and even then, there can be scars, or those little moments that sneak up on you, reminding you of the bad stuff.

Being pissed off in general is normal. Pissed at yourself? Also normal. The worst kinds of narcissists are serial charmers, but when they get ugly, oh, it's damn ugly. The good thing is you'll be able to recognize the signs next time. Your senses may be in overdrive for a while, and I think that's normal too. Just don't let that dictate how you deal with new people (keep it there in the back of your mind, certainly, but remember there are varying degrees of narcissism, not all of them as crazy destructive as what you were subjected to).
