I wouldnt have believed what happened to me until it happened.

If you are not familiar with narcissistic abuse, they approach pretending to be someone they are not. They pretend to be your mirror, study you, use your language, mirror you.

Then they begin abusing you, it triggers something called a "Trauma Bond."

I had never experienced or even heard of this before. I could not stop thinking about her.

It is extremely addictive and sinister. The only solution was to get away to break the trauma bond.

These are things you simply cannot understand if you have never experienced it. I am a different person now, I never knew that something like this could happen.

Yes it's a common form of abuse, it's common because it's easy, it's easy because the "victim" is asking for it.

Self improvement work is a better outcome than witch hunting.
