It’s NOT your fault…
It took you so long to realise that you were being manipulated and gaslighted, BECAUSE you were being manipulated and gaslighted…
Because they were good at what they did!
Someone who plays the victim after they’ve continually manipulated you, disrespected you, spread false accusations and lies about you, and shown no capacity at all for empathy, remorse, accountability, integrity, or the truth; is not someone that you need in your life.
They knew EXACTLY what they were doing.
They KNEW they were hurting you!
They may like to play the role of the victim but they are NOT the victim by any stretch of the imagination.
They chose their behaviours; they were intentional about what they did.
They showed no regard for your emotional well-being, for you, or for your heart.
Playing the victim and trying to frame you as the villain after they’ve very cleverly done this to you; is nothing more than them trying to continue their manipulation, their control, and their abuse over you.
It doesn’t matter that it took you a little while to figure it out, the point is you eventually did!
And now you know; that the moment you start to wonder if you deserve better, it’s because you probably do…
