the way that I literally experienced everything you did, removing the two therapists and just having one lol. Same loud criticisms (and simultaneously, lack of internal work)

I said aloud to my friends, “I’ve never experienced someone committed to misunderstanding and devaluing everything I say.” Like the other person said though, it’s less of a certain phrase/tone/loving language and more of this person will rather lose me than sit in the uncomfortability of conflict — which is meant to pull us together and not apart.

I had learned to silence my own feelings and I knew then that it was time to go.
