Is There Anything You Wish Your Ex Knew About You?
She knew almost everything, she just wouldn’t accept it
I’d like you to know I just received another comment from a follower, but on here and not, on Quora. I felt the pain in his comment to me. My writing struck yet another nerve in the damaged brain of those that have experienced the wraths of manipulation and deceit.
When I first met you, I didn’t sign up to be lied to, cheated on, and manipulated. What you were “selling” me was damaged and fake goods. It was a form of “bait and switch” that you are so damn good at. You got me good, really good. I knew something was off, but you played the victim of domestic abuse so well, I went against my better judgment.
I want you to know I get a lot of comments and messages from those that have experienced precisely what I went through with you. I am not making this up; how could I? Better yet, why would I?
I have beat my head against the wall many days and nights, trying to “figure you out” while losing myself. I emphasized wanting to help someone who doesn’t want the help, or maybe you do, perhaps you are scared? But see, that thinking right there is what keeps me clinging to hope.
To put it into a better perspective, picture yourself looking off a cliff. Are you standing close…
