A part of it is (and this is just me talking, not a response to anyone) that’s I feel she’s invaded a space where I felt safe to talk, albeit vaguely, about things. Yes, it’s a public forum but this is why I don’t put my name on the account, my profile pic isn’t my face: I don’t want people I know finding me. I don’t have a ton of offline support. Most people just don’t understand what happened and think it’s just a budding relationship that didn’t work out. Which would be true if you took out the lies upon lies upon lies and the abuse. I need to be able to talk to people. Therapy is expensive (though I’ve been going every week until the last two), and honestly I felt like talking about it here I was either getting a similar response as offline (“Why is this bothering you?”) or no response at all.
