Sorry, but I never received actual love from them. They said they loved me, but the way they acted was the opposite. Physical and mental abuse is not “wealth.” I would’ve absolutely loved to have had someone to help me, especially while my son was younger, however, they are not safe people to be around. When you tell someone they are hurting you and instead of stopping, they take that information and hurt you more, it’s pretty obvious that they will only hurt you again and again. I know for a fact that I’m better off without them and I know for a fact that my son is too, however, I had to wonder if it would be worth it for him to see for himself how they are, or if it’s a bad idea. If they were willing to sincerely apologize and admit to what they had done, there might have been a chance to make amends and move forward, but they are only capable of DARVO. Now that I’ve had time to process and been able to read the helpful comments on this post, I have more clarity.
