heya, my name is liam and im here to find people in similar situations to mine. i was in an abusive relationship in which i was manipulated and controlled, nearly lost all of my friends because my abuser wanted me alone and now im about to lose them again.
one particular "friend" of mine told me that, "shaming people is how you get them to change for the better". this is exactly how i was manipulated and controlled, shamed into doing/not doing something, or believing/not believing something.
but nobody understands why im so upset.
i tried to explain why what they said wasnt okay and why it hurt me but they think im overreacting.
just looking for anyone with similar experiences or in a similar situation.
