Can I just say, you guys were all correct.

She manipulated me through guilt. She absolutely ran hot-cold, she verbally abused me, the whole house was on eggshells waiting for her mood or reaction, she exhausted us financially, she DID HAVE physical illnesses but come on..... There are people far sicker who were able to do far more, I was truly trauma bonded to her, she had me hooked like an addiction, she future-faked with multiple false starts for new jobs or education, none of which she followed through with, there was absolutely no forgiveness in her, there was no merit in me no matter what I accomplished for us....

Thank you all.
