I will never change my view on this!
You are NOT the villain because you chose to stand up for yourself!
You are NOT the villain, because your reaction was NEVER the problem, their constant disrespect that they were never willing to acknowledge or discuss was the always problem!
Now some people will say that you are responsible for your reactions; and yes maybe you are, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't react and allow them to keep getting away with hurting you as a result of their consistent, relentless, and unremorseful disrespect.
Because here's the truth; when you're manipulated, gaslighted, and subjected to constant emotional abuse over a long period of time that they won't even acknowledge or discuss; you ARE eventually going to react!
Abnormal circumstances create abnormal reactions, and that is normal!
No one deserves to be treated like a villain just because they finally found the courage to call out someone's disrespect towards them.
No one deserves to be treated like a villain because they finally found the courage to take a stand for themselves after being disrespected, abused, neglected, and having their life torn apart for so long, knowing that the person you trusted would then turn everyone against you because of it.
Your reaction was NOT the problem!
Their constant disrespect that they were NEVER willing to acknowledge or discuss was ALWAYS the problem!
I really wish more people would understand this...
