Manipulative people never apologise for how they treated you. They won't acknowledge the hurt, the silence, or the tears they caused. Instead, they flip the story, twist your reactions, and paint your pain as proof that you are the problem. They make you question your memory, your feelings, even your worth. You start wondering if you overreacted. when all you ever did was respond like a human being. That's their power turning your honesty into guilt, and your hurt into blame. But remember this: Your emotions are not evidence of your weakness. Your reactions are not a crime. And their refusal to take accountability doesn't make you wrong It only reveals who they truly are. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do. is stop believing the story they wrote about you.
