koru_kiwi, I’m sorry your guy was so manipulative, but it seems like you were up for handling it. I experienced something similar, and it felt he was throwing me under the bus. What vanity.I was firm when I finally left, but trembling on the inside.
I’m glad that someone posted a link on the therapist Reddit, but agree the response was pretty underwhelming. I think there should be a lot for them to unpack.
