Your Emotionally Abusive Ex

This really resonated for me:


“Understand, when you’re with somebody who is emotionally abusive, the game they get you to play is to constantly try to be somebody that you’re not.  That’s how they derive their power from you.  Guys like him are afraid of emotional intimacy and to avoid having to look at that in themselves, they project their anger and their dislike of themselves onto other people and they have you running laps around them, tap dancing, trying to be everything you can be, so they don’t have to look at themselves.  It’s a drug.  It’s a drug to the person who’s being manipulated and to the person who’s doing the abusing.”
