They were often nice before they hurt me. (grooming; disarming) and then I often wondered what happened. Or I would be "hooked" on them and have trouble breaking free.

So when they were nice or caring or supportive, that was often a prelude to trouble.

Then they would look at me funny for acting so scared.

As you might have surmised, he was very professional and kind. And I was extremely vulnerable; in so much pain and so scared.

UGH.
