I strongly suggest that you do some digging into why this is the correct type of response until you are in piecing.
I understand it, honestly. This situation just really got to me.
Mikey P I know you feel like the victim here. I totally get that. I can promise you she feels like the victim too. Right or wrong that’s how she feels. If you try to convince her she’s wrong, crazy, being ridiculous I promise you it will not end the way you want it to.
You have to remember that how she was living did NOT work for her. What’s different?
I don’t feel like a victim, not sure what I feel like I am. 10 months in and I mostly feel stunned about it all. I hate the poor me, victim mentality. I’ve not tried to convince her of anything since discovering DB. The most I’ve said about her feelings is that i feel she should have come to me before things became so bad. Haven’t said that in several months either. I’ve validated her feelings the few times she’s actually expressed them, at least I tried to.
