[quote=Anonymous]Going to therapy and learning that the way my parents treat me was emotionally abusive turned on lightbulb for me. My whole life I was taught to be grateful and I gaslighted myself into believing what they told me - they loved me despite that I was XYZ. I started connecting the dots to my unhappiness with XH who also was quite emotionally abusive. He didn't leave me at restaurants but had walked ahead of me many times when we lived in a city, would do the opposite of comfort me if I was anxious about something (even when pregnant), and was financially controlling and demeaned me so much I didn't think I could make it outside of him. Well, I finally had enough and separated. Nothing angers a narcissist more than having their ego bruised so badly. Dealing with him in divorce has been really tough. But once I got out, got a new job, broke off contact with my parents - it's like I'm a new person. Don't underestimate the toxicity of people in your life. [/quote]
