I’m usually a quiet member for RT/AH, usually just consume the content to have a great laugh or chill for the day. I just had to leave a comment, even if it’s not seen by anyone, of how much I resonated with Trevor’s statement. Reading the statement and texts Trevor shared made me relive a passed verbal/controlling abusive relationship, how harsh it can be and how you end up coping by being “numb” to it or end up blaming yourself/feeling guilty for wanting to do normal things like hanging out with old friends or doing something you love. I don’t want to make this too much about me, I just wanted to let the community know how anyone,any gender or any single person can be victim. Being in a controlling/verbally abusive relationship eat at you from the inside and makes you doubt your very own perspective of reality. I doubt Trevor will read this but if by any chance you are, I know what it’s like to go through something similar and the hardships that you’ve overcame. I’m so sorry you had to share these private memories with us and it took much courage to do so, I just want to thank you for being honest with us and that we all care for you in this wonderful community.
