For 2 years I was brainwashed, manipulated, abused, gaslighted, lovebombed, you name it, I went through it. Pure hell and torture. Nothing was ever his fault. He'd start arguments just for fun and would laugh when I would start to defend myself. The last couple of months is when I started doing my research on Narcissism. I started then realizing what kind of person I was dealing with and up against if I had decided to fight back. Little by little I started catching him lying. Eventually, I was belittling him, picking on him, starting arguments with him, accussing him of lying and cheating, telling him that I saw him somewheres else other than where he told me he was going (I was totally lying and making that up, I never followed him), I started flipping the script and doing everything he did to me. I felt bad because I have empathy. But the fact that I would not back down and every time I would talk to him and would talk crap, he hated it. He mumbled under his breath thinking that I didnt hear him "I now know how you feel". Once he said that I continued with the bashing. It was all anger built up anger of course I had every right.  The next day I woke up to 25 texts. He was trying to belittle me again, saying that I need help and that I was crazy. He said he cant be with anyone like me no more. LOL. In 3 days will be 1 month since he "discarded" me. I told him he was "caught" and that I know exactly what he is. That he was a fake, fraud and scammer and that one day, he will be exposed. He got scared and ran!
