After they’ve created a ton of chaos to clean up, they expect someone else to do it for them. ~ Gail Klodt
They are very quick to point out your faults. No matter that they have faults of their own, we are expected to just forget what they have said or done to hurt us because they have already “forgiven us for our mistakes”. ~ Amy Martinez
These people won’t ever change. They just get worse with age. It’s not sad that the person is like this, it is something that people like this can change about themselves. The sadness comes when it ruins relationships and the person still doesn’t get it. ~ Felicia Gueterman
They have us co-dependents around to soften all the blows. We suffer, they don’t. They need to be able to fall and feel the pain themselves instead of leaving it wound others maybe then they will change. ~ Theresa Logan
Debi really nailed it for me as well. My sentiments exact and it is worse when the abuser is a public figure and people look up to him..he is an introvert in public and if you are the outspoken one then he is even more the victim..I allowed that abuse for over 18 years until I nearly lost my sanity for the third time but I became wiser and as much as I did not want to leave I HAD to in order to be happier for the rest of my life. I regained my confidence and self esteem and life can be great even after 50!
