wowsers. that is some crazy $hit right there. I mean...wow.
I hope that you look at this and see that you did not cause this to happen, Right? That is how I read your words...that this is not your doing.
you are strong enough to see this as manipulation right out of the gate, so I know that you have grown. that alone puts a smile on my face!
I hope you the best, I hope that you can take solice that this is a good sign that you can see unhealthy advances towards you and be able to see through BS on your way to healthy relationships in the future.
