Taunting Pushes Me Over The Edge

[hodge]

You don't need anyone in your life who will shame you for your trauma. None of us deserve to be shamed for our traumas. Obviously, this idiot is incapable of validating you and what you went through. Ban him from your life. We validate you.

The last five years of my marriage felt like that. And l couldn't raise a finger, because he was foaming...

:(

:hug:

You must be strong. I wouldn't have lasted 5 years!

 

[EveHarrington]

Wow. I'm like this every day. Firestorms. Outward or inward.

Same stuff you do for other symptoms. Med...

I hope it doesn't become a thing. I had rage issues at one point but it was discovered that my med doses were off. It was fixed and the issue went away. Now it's not meds, it's me! I don't want to be like this! I need to walk away-----the hard thing is that the taunting escalates sometimes when you cease to engage. Maybe put marshmallows in my ears and run like the dickens!

 

[hodge]

Lol, yep, marshmallows in the ears -- whatever it takes. Just run away from him, don't read his emails (I know that's easy to say), and be good to yourself. You deserve it. :hug:s

 

[EveHarrington]

He'll wind you up and then point at you and go. " see? she's crazy! "

I was married to that then spent...

This is exactly how it plays out. Exactly.

Scary how these creep-o's all work from the same playbook of unoriginality.

I have no reason to stay in contact with him. Thank goodness.

Had a fragile teenager l was raising. She stayed on and was on antidepressants about a year after l left. She had some depression issues all along, so it put me in a tough position. Sometimes we get wrapped in the cycle where he creates the dialog, then you follow it and then you have this pattern that you both become dependent on. This is the sole interaction. I had this same pattern and you do this long enough and it's a cycle. I hope you understand, l am happy to be out of that, l was in that 24/7

Block emails, text, phone calls?

 

[EveHarrington]

Good lord.

He insults her by saying she's crazy.

If she dares fight back (or even respond) it's "proof" to him that she's crazy. If she doesn't fight back it tells him that she's accepting what he says as the truth.

He always wins. She always looses.

Is this on page 1 of the psychopath manual?!?

 

[EveHarrington]

Block....

Yes, blocked. I don't even want his smarmy number in my phone.

 

[hodge]

Yep, gotta be page 1 of the psychopath manual, cause I don't think they can read much beyond that.

 

[hodge]

I mean, look at Trump (or not!), but he doesn't have an attention span that's more than like two minutes. So it's gotta be on page 1. :-)

@hodge

Lol. That's pretty funny.
