What the fuck?? You are honestly acting just like my mother with your logic here. Because I was in an abusive relationship, I have no right to privacy?! Because I asked for someone's support, they don't have to respect my privacy?! Because there is a "bigger problem" here, no one has to respect me and people can make choices for me because I am less of a human capable of making their own fucking choices? Everyone can just talk about me even if it creates issues that isolate me?

Is this the logic everyone has? That makes me ridiculously frustrated.

I have gotten a therapist who specializes in abuse. I never felt worried my ex would go to jail because I felt bad for him. I felt like I owed it to his parents to help him avoid jail time. They were incredible to me during our relationship, I did it as a favor to his family but never to him. I didn't give a fuck about him.

Thank you for responding and being concerned for my wellbeing, but I will never be abused again and have read countless books about it. I have a therapist who I will see for years. My ex has done all the steps a truly repentant abuser is supposed to do. I didn't make this post to have someone tell me my relationship was abusive, I know that...
