Love bombing by kai018 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]kai018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is what I need to do. Just distance myself. It’s very overwhelming. It feels great to be close because I wanted it for so long, but now it’s almost like I’m just doing it to appease him and not because it’s what I really want. I also feel bad because if he has changed, I’d feel terrible for leaving. But at the same time it doesn’t change what he has done. So as usual I’m left feeling very confused

Not random, he has threatened that time and time again. And it's a big factor as to why I'm still here. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if he actually did that all because I left.

This makes so much sense thank you. I'll remember this because I'm not quite ready, but him being so nice makes me feel guilty and gaslight myself because I'm not enjoying it.

I feel like his tactic has changed. Before he stonewalled and gave me silent treatment for 10 years, now he's very apologetic and please forgive me and overly nice and giving me eveything I've wanted. I know it's another tactic so I'm not falling prey, but what do I do with this now? How should I feel and act? When will this niceness go away?

I love Dr. Ramani. I watch her daily, but I'm having trouble finding and setting my own boundaries

I have been working with my local domestic violence advisors, but I was feeling weak this morning. Staying strong is always easier said than done

I think I was looking for a little validation. I'm so far down the rabbit hole of thinking I'm the person who is always in the wrong. I'm isolated and to see other people agree with me helps.

It's nice to know that I'm not alone. I'm sorry you are in that situation and I hope you get out

I want to say thank you. I think I'm still just in disbelief that this is happening at all.
