Hi everyone, I just joined this forum in hopes of knowing people who may have suffered the same experiences I went through. I am a survivor of emotional abuse. My mother and her boyfriend are both sociopaths and narcissists. For the past 7 years of my life, I was living very unhappily in my mom's house. Whenever I made a mistake, I would brace myself for harsh yelling with name calling (*****, evil, c***). I always thought to myself that because I did something wrong, I deserved to be yelled at and be called such demeaning names. They tried to control me and I felt like I needed permission to do things such as go out for an evening after work. I was walking on eggshells at that house. The master manipulator was my mom's boyfriend. He made everything think he was a friend and that he could be trusted. But instead, he would use the information told to him as a weapon against me.
8 months ago I made the decision to finally leave that house (was still on somewhat good terms). It was until my mother go upset over the most insane and unreasonable issue. It was then I decided they were toxic people and I can no longer associate with them.
I still experience anxiety and stress. Sometimes I feel like they come to my area and try to stalk me.
I cannot believe I have such monstrous people in my life.
