we accepted it because someone we loved and who we believed loved us was telling us that...in actions as well as in words...
i compare it to an abusive relationship (which I have been in too...) no one would be in a relationship with a person who punched them on the 1st date but they don't smack you on the 1st date
they didn't treat us like we sucked on the 1st date
Sadly it was the opposite. I think that is part of the personality disorder, making you trust and eventually become dependent on them.
