This is a solo full Q&A episode where I answer the following questions:
1.) How long did it take for you to no longer feel the need for him to see your worth? 2.) How to not care that you're painted as the villain by abuser? 3.) How do you get over the discard, and how happy they seem to be doing it to you? 4.) How to stop spiraling when they seem to be giving the next partner everything you wanted. 5.) How can one break out of cognitive dissonance when in the thick of it? 6.) When the abuser claims to have PTSD, is that a reason/ excuse for abuse? 7.) Sleep abuse/ abuser claiming to have "violent dreams" 8.) Did u/anyone u speak with feel like their abuser was gay and that's why they hated women? 9.) Is it real love when he goes to the extreme of doing crazy stuff to show undying love? 10.) How to support a friend who says they know it's abuse but they're not scared of him? 11.) How to deal with people who just don't get it 12.) Your opinion on a relationship/marriage between a believer and an atheist
