When they can't hurt you anymore they switch tactics and start threatening you instead. They tell you you'll be left alone, that no one will stay in your life. Why? Because you stopped accepting abuse and every bit of nonsense they threw at you. And that's when it hits you, it was never love to begin with. That wasn't a relationship, you were just there to tolerate their behavior quietly. The moment you see through them and decide to stop, suddenly you're the villain. Funny how clarity turns you evil in stories they can't control anymore. You're selfish, you only think about yourself; apparently the worst human alive now. And they think loneliness is a threat, like it's supposed to scare you back. When honestly, you'd choose being alone over gaslighting, lies, and manipulation any day.
