please don’t beat yourself up for not picking up on red flags sooner. you did your best at the time and ultimately it’s not your fault someone was treating you badly
Not only that, but it’s not uncommon for abusers to hide or make excuses for things that turn out to be red flags when you look back. And even when they don’t, you’re not always going to see them in the moment, sometimes you don’t realize something is bad until after time has passed and you’ve processed it.
