I forgave her at the time, but you're right. It was such a big red flag that should have warned me of so many things that came in the future. At her core, she couldn't respect boundaries if they didn't agree with her plans.

    Sadly it's very human to want to cling to connections we have, even if they're incredibly unhealthy. =/ Congrats to you for eventually figuring out and getting away! I hope she didn't cause too much damage.

    That's super sweet of you to ask. I was really depressed for several years, but I recovered. She was a big part of my life for a very long time and let her mask slip incrementally until I was left holding my head, confused as to how I let it get that bad. But no matter how bad things get, I'm always surprised at how resilient humans can be!
