Trust me when I say you need to grab this opportunity to GET OUT.

I was gaslighted and fucked over by his endless drama (with him always the victim or the hero) for so long, I finally got free in 2003 and still haven’t had the nerve to try again.

Don’t ever put yourself in a position like this again. Just be glad you’re not tied to her more than you already are. You deserve better, and a little distance will help you really believe that.
