Re: Inspired by #1

[(Anonymous)]

The first apartment I ever lived in by myself, I became friends with one of my neighbors.

She had health issues and had been abused growing up. This kept her homebound and when she did go out, there were very few places she was willing/able to go.

That was not the problem. The problem was she had an abusive online relationship that had consumed her more than a year before I met her.

The snippets I heard marked this guy as a manipulative asshole and likely catfish.

He demanded her time, always on his terms. He refused to video chat (audio only), told obvious lies about himself, and received gifts from her several times a year which he never reciprocated.

They would argue at least once a month and any time she wanted to change something about their relationship, he would threaten to cut all connect with her. So nothing ever changed.

After one of those fights, I had to talk her out of the bathroom after she locked herself in with a knife.

I probably should have tied things up then as best I could and left, but I wanted to help.

So five more months of her emotional rollercoaster tied to that piece of shit.

I started to dislike her. Her clinginess. How she would be mean to her roommate when the online abuser was being mean to her. Other little things that had been a little annoying before that now grated.

When I moved that winter, I never contacted her again. I very glad I haven't, even if she has seen that light regarding that guy.

I think that was a wise decision. People like that can suck all the empathy out of you. You were already feeling this when your sympathy for her situation started turning into resentment... that stuff can eat you alive if you have to put up with it on a longterm basis.
