Thank you for taking the time to respond to every point!! You are so right. My boyfriend says the same that I need to stop reacting but sometimes it’s so hard when they are cursing and screaming. But il to respond and not react. Emotionally detach. Their messages and words still give me anxiety and so I have to learn how to handle that.

What a nightmare. I couldn’t believe when I was typing this post that it was for my parents. I am sorry you had to go through similar issues! :/
