I Am a Victim of Emotional Abuse

Oh boy. Yes, I am.
I had an emotionally abusive girlfriend. It was tough, man. I was so blind and oblivious to the fact that it was abuse and was constantly in denial. I was on some hardcore meds for my Bipolar and it completely numbed me out and I thought all that she was doing was okay. Like lying every single day about the dumbest things, calling me stupid, manipulating. To this day she owes me 150 euros. I was so gullible I believed that the money was for her disabled brothers surgery, which turned out to be a complete lie. She lied about such things like having diabetes and a tumor in her head, just lying lying lying all the time.
Anyways, I know it hurts a lot and after relationships like that you have to basically start from scratch to pull yourself together not to mention it scars you for the rest of your life.

It's very easy to believe people we have fallen for. Don't think of yourself as scarred, just more cautious and less inclined to immediately trust someone just because you are attracted or have fallen for her. Remember, we do not automatically owe trust to people just because we are fond of them or even because we love them. Trust must be earned a little at a time.

Your description of this awful chick reminds me of a line from a Raymond Chandler novel. It's a detective novel about a cynical private investigator. He meets an attractive woman and gets to know her a little. At the beginning of a chapter, she enters his office to speak to him. Here is the line:

"Hello," she lied.

People like that hurt the most. So twisted and devious. I was hurt in a similar way at your age. I am over her now, but I would not be pleasant to her if I saw her. It has been 12 years now.
