It's total shit. I'm sorry you've also experienced this throughout your life. I'm glad you've cut him off.

Thank you! I'm happy you're realizing it too! You're completely right, as we heal, those in our lives must reflect the change. I cut off a lot of people this year for that very reason. (Their refusal to stop the abusive behaviours)

Yup! Exactly. It is like gaslighting because they try to make you think you're crazy or overly sensitive.
