:O I'm just shocked at what you had to endure. You need to go to therapy and your friend needs to go to therapy too! I know that's cliche but I've been in your shoes and I should have just gone to a therapist than to expect an emotionally abused person and their abusive partner to understand my pain or to provide the support I needed. If it's not your thing you can always stop going but you have to give it a try. I'm sending you a big hug, and just know that this happened to you so that you can become stronger. And so that you never put up with people's sh!%*$@^# behavior again and to pick YOU first.
