You haven't gone mad, you've simply been worn down by emotional manipulation until dysfunction felt like your default.
When someone persistently invalidates your feelings, distorts your memories, and guilts you into apologizing just to avoid conflict, your mind and body shift into pure survival mode.
If any of this feels familiar, recognize it for what it is: trauma. And healing begins the moment you stop justifying your pain to the person who caused it and start trusting your own experience again.
Because you were never the problem. The reality is you were slowly taught to believe your hurt was the issue, while the issue was always the way you were treated.
You're not crazy, and this page is your safe space.
