Mine is the exact same in that I am not allowed to talk or to have a voice. Anything I say is taken wrongly. Anything I say is apparently me trying to cause an argument. It’s ridiculous. You become so downtrodden by it… I feel as if I am not an adult but a child… no voice and totally controlled in all I do.
I really don’t think they do love us. I don’t think mine really knows what love is. He is someone who will do and say whatever he has to in order to get what he wants. Totally self-serving and selfish. Even at times when I thought he was being caring I realise it was more than likely because he would ultimately gain from me being okay… so it was in his interests to ensure I was.
