Why did I let myself stay with someone that got me stuff he liked with my mom's money and wouldn't communicate despite me begging and pleading. Then he would bring up stuff from over half a year before and say that I wouldn't let us talk through situations. Gaslighting broke manipulators are crazy. I'm happy to say I've gained so many meaningful relationships with people who care about my wellbeing. Got friends I can call whenever, relationships that aren't one sided and as much reassurance as I need. I should've left him earlier but I didn't, so I'm glad I left him when I did. Despite him keeping his expensive presents when he knew I was struggling. I deserve everything I gave him and someone who can love me back.
