I found these two articles helped me feel a little better since it is related to my situation in many ways, and I thought that it’d be nice to share. Sometimes we are being mentally abused in ways that we are not able to perceive for ourselves by others whether intentionally or not. It helped me feel a little less weight on my shoulders and the mistakes I’ve made in the past. So I hope it does for you too.

Although this topic is not specifically related to my situation, it’s a provocative topic and a bit divergent from the regular fodder so thank you for posting. I enjoyed reading it, it was interesting …but it pains me to think of anyone being subjected to such a diabolically sophisticated form of torture….trying to erode the most important…the most integral things about a person…God…ok…what I mean to say is…trying to sully or degrade the stuff that make you the person that you see yourself as, or being berated or undermined for the principles and ideals that you believe in….I don’t mean to sound overly dramatic here….but it sounds like a special circle of Hell painstakingly custom made for the poor unsuspecting soul whose only fault was putting to much faith in humanity and the facade that a malevolent coward of a so called man conjured up to make himself seem like a good natured, kind and gentle champion of humanity and benevolence whose only motive for doing so was solely rooted in the sadistic joy derived from mentally, emotionally and physically obliterating a person as systematically and effectively as possible…I wholeheartedly hope that you are not currently entrenched in such bleak circumstances and if you are I sincerely hope that you are at least putting some serious thought into possible exit plans or ways you may be able to culminate resources to facilitate your extraction from this precarious sitch….but as I am sure you are painfully aware, the damage done dosnt just miraculously disappear by a change of scenery, or changing your billing address… if you ever find yourself in need of a sympathetic ear you can always look for me, I’m usu around, just not vocal often…..
I’m glad you liked the articles and thank you for offering your sympathy.
My crazy as fuck ex husband did thus to me for years.
