What is Love Bombing? If it Happens, Run!

[conversationswithmybrothers]

Trauma Bonding is when you're so heavily attached to a toxic person, that you are willing to maintain a relationship, even at the expense of yourself for the few and far between highs. Your brain gets highly addicted to the habitual ups and downs of oxytocin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, that even when the relationship ends, you will seek and crave the person or become obsessive or seek similar people, in order to get your fix. It's the rewiring of the neurological pathways of love, turning against itself. The loss of the love, makes you crave them more. You're dependent in the same way a heroin addict is - Conversations With My Brothers

Toxic people condition you to believe the problem isn’t the abuse itself, but instead your reactions to their abuse.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Summary: Steve doesn't understand why Tony dates people who abuse him. Tony doesn't understand why Steve cares.The rest is bad choices, good choices, rehab, milkshakes, paintball, YouTube videos, couples therapy and learning to put the past in the past. Or: How Tony finds his happy ending.

Chapters: 10

Status: Complete

Notes: This ff got my heart. Tony hasn’t respect for himself, he dates people who are abusive and who treats him like he’s nothing, because he thinks he deserves it. But Steve doesn’t agree with him, he gets angry every time someone treats Tony in a bad way. Tony, on the other hand, gets pissed when Steve defends him, and he always twists the cap’s words against him. But Steve doesn’t give up and, eventually, will manage to break Tony’s armor, making him see what he sees. And the rest is a soft and pure fluff and you read it!

5 Reasons People In Abusive Relationships Can’t “Just Leave”

1. Emotional abuse destroys self-esteem, making it feel impossible to start fresh. *they’ve already tore you down so much, you feel everyone looks at you the way they do.

2. Society perpetuates a ride-or-die mindset. *meaning “ if you really love a person, you’ll stay no matter what “ THIS IS BULLSHIT. 

3. Feeling personally responsible for their partner & their behavior. *thinkning “oh if I wouldn’t have said what I did, this wouldn’t of happen..IT WOULD’VE HAPPENED ANYWAY.

4. Sharing a life together. *long term abuse makes you fear loosing what you’ve worked so long for including a house, car, children. Even the emtional “bond” you have with this person.

5. Not only is it about safety, but breaking the cycle of control.
