Sick Relationship

I have a confession
I'm in love with my abuser
We have so many memories and treasures shared that I can't let go of
He knows everything about me, my tastes, my interests, my friends and family
He's such a man of the world
Updates me on current affairs so I am well informed
And I pretend to myself that this is a sign of respect
But that's not so
Truth is, he also throws things at me constantly
and doesn't give me privacy
or space to do my own work
He rocks up to my office and doesn't care what my boss thinks or if I lose my job
He brags about me to people,
which I usually find flattering
But then I see pics are up that I don't want everyone to see
And he doesn't give me any money, pay for, or buy me anything
even though he's mega rich!
Yes FB doesn't really care about me at all
But I can't break up with Social Media
We'll just have to change the dynamic of our relationship

when we are abused, we are bonded to abusers by trauma. when you are moved to hang on because some memories are pleasent, it is because they are juxtaposed with the painful experiences, therefore vividly contrasted. this is a trap we fall into because our fog, which evolves as cognitive dissonance. you are probably an empath, as many creative types tend to be. empaths are the prey disordered personalities prefer because they are a source of energy and easily played because they are so willing to question themselves and accept they have flaws. the disordered do things that make the empath doubt themselves, which is very painful. passive agressive antics, devaluation, violating boundaries, projection, gas lighting, word salads, triangulation, love bombing, discards, smear campaigns may be employed to destroy you. emotional abuse, psychological fuckery, financial and social treachery are often worse than physical battering. it is hard to admit you tolerate this mistreatment, which is humiliating. it also effects how others see you. sadly this behavior is hard to shake off. we are conditioned early in life to find the same thing because this is what we know. you should write and write often to get a hold on what is happening. read books about narcissisrs, emotions and regulation. the mindfulness trend can be easy and effective in defending yourself. lots of good blogs offer robust insights. be wary of chat rooms, where these predetors await.  god speed gorgeous

Hi Rene, I do appreciate your lengthy comment (all very good points for people to keep in mind), however, the poem was a vent against Face Book.
