I put it to the page, just in case I ever get any ideas about going back to her.

How many intersections can you cram in one feminist?
“I can’t believe I put up with it for as long as I did.”
Don’t worry, that’s a perfectly normal reaction. Just… don’t beat yourself up over it, you were and are not at fault.
I too had an abusive relationship I couldn’t recognize. She is transgender, was a fire fighter, said she’d support me and my kids. After we were married, everything became about her. I didn’t exist anymore. Neither did my kids who suddenly became “brats”. I left her. To this day she texts and tries to gas light me. My friends keep me strong. It can happen to anyone: emotional abuse. It’s hard to fight. But you are and that matters. Your posts help me stay strong and protect my and my kid’s hearts.
