Good evening Zanadoo,
You have met the welcoming committee and received much good advice today.

I have scanned your story and I am sorry you are here, but I can tell you, it is a good place to be under the circumstances.
It literally saved me...

Your question is a good one

How do you stop being manipulated?

The simple answer, is to identify when it is happening and to have pre set responses, or in worst case scenario, no response and walk away....
Simple right?
I know it is not so easy though.
I am a big believer that we have to put in much work to get through and heal after a BD, so....

I am going to give yo a little homework and ask that you share what you find and I can bounce your thoughts around with you.
What do you say to this?

If you choose to accept, I am going to ask that you google your exact question here.
you will find pages of strategies and information. Narrow down to some simple things that you can try.
Use DB principles as your guide.
Start with a beginners mindset.
Know Wha you want.
Stay out of cheerless tunnels
Experiment and monitor.
Keep track of the positive changes.

I will swing by tomorrow to see if you accept and your progress with putting in some work to heal, get stronger and manage your sitch.

Good luck.
you are in the best place possible right now.
