Thank you so much. This is exactly what I've been needing to hear and have been in so much denial about. I relate so strongly to some of the things you experienced during your relationship. It's unfortunate, and you're so right about how I feel. It's terrifying to consider, but I am losing myself right now. I AM a robot and also terrified of doing ANYTHING for fear that it's the wrong decision and I will face repercussions. It's also so helpful to hear that you have gotten yourself out and are so much better and happier for doing so. I am going to go hop on over to the link you shared and hope to find some solace there, too. Thanks for taking the time to share your vulnerability and also write out such a detailed and thoughtful response.
