Ever been in an abusive relationship before?

While you're in it, you don't even realize that's what it is. I'm thinking back a long way now. All the "that's not what I said, that's what you heard". Making me think I'm crazy.

When you feel the need to document or record everything in order to prove it ,you are probably a victim of gaslighting.
Its later on as you start putting the peices together you start realize how shitty of person they really were.
Dont look for apologies or justification, you will just be wasting more time on a person that really isnt worth it.

My first boyfriend was abusive and controlling. I stayed with him for ten years. He messed with my head and used to hit me. He was a narcissist. I was oblivious to the abuse for a long time before i started to go out and made friends and theyd mention how he was treating me wasnt right. Even then id dismiss it. I slowly awoke to the fact he was incredibly abusive towards me. Took me ages to leave because i was scared.
He used to talk like that too. Twisting everything and playing mind games.
