Still loving the person who consistently mindfucked and emotionally manipulated you. Wanting to believe so badly that it was all just a misunderstanding and he’ll figure out what he did wrong and change. Wanting so badly to try again with him but not knowing if you’ll ever be able to trust him again, and not knowing if he’ll ever really follow through with change.

when your abuser was so good at twisting around reality and blaming everything on you that you spend months wondering if he was actually abusing you or if it was the other way around.

[trigger warning: suicide]
when you wonder how many times you’re allowed to answer “suicidal” when people ask “how are you?” before they stop taking you seriously and think you’re just trying to get attention.

When your brain shuts down from too much PTSD anxiety and you lose the ability to understand and retain any information from any of your senses for days on end. (that may just be me, idk).

[trigger warning: suicidal thoughts]
Having entire days where you’re almost incapable of any sort of internal monologue that is anything other than “I want to die. I want to die. I want to die.”

When all you want to do is go back to covering up for your rapist and ignoring what they did so that your closest friendships aren’t ruined anymore. Realizing you can’t. And hating yourself for wanting “normal” when abusive relationships were your norm.

The awkward moment when you love your abuser because they are family and even with the bad there was the love they showed you and growing up together. The love hate relationship.

Being sexually assaulted by your boyfriend and being told by your friend that it wasn’t really sexual assault because you were in a relationship with him and you must’ve given consent, even though you didn’t.
