And then when it got too much for her and she decided that you had "crossed a boundary" by merely driving on her street, she dropped you. Sounds like she's the one who should forgive herself, not you. I'm sorry for what you went through and for all the ****** responses on Quora but these people are no less biased than anybody else.

Yep - it’s called “love bombing” and it’s one of the ways narcisists and abusers lure and keep victims into addictive, dependent relationships. I was trying not to go there, but glad someone else did. I don’t know this therapist so am trying hard not to label or judge but it makes me sick that the OP was left holding the bag of bad feelings and was obviously damaged by what was done.
This OP’s story pushes all my buttons because I can relate so deeply to being trapped in a similar cluster and forced to work my way out alone.
