Tolerance and compromise are core relational skills. But knowing why and what to tolerate and compromise is wisdom. Be wise, not nice.

You will know you’re the scapegoat when you have a strong reaction to something hurtful done to you and the focus is on how you reacted vs. what caused you pain.

I stopped acquiescing to people who just don’t listen to what I want/need. Oh look - peace.

So I stuffed my quilt into the machine for a wash… and now I’m greatly concerned if it’ll work out. 🤞

Exactly what is happening to me now. She kept asking me how do I feel. I don’t feel anything in the moment?!

Hey everyone, it’s been so long. How are you?

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Stop trying to hold people accountable. It’s one of the biggest wastes of time. You’re not here to teach or fix how other people how to behave. Focus on the only thing you can control: you. Then, watch your life get better.

"My life got better when I realized I didn't have to be nice. Nice got me used, stressed out and disrespected. I'm not nice. I'm a good person. There's a difference."

“You’re so sensitive” is often the only words someone can come up with to deflect how clearly you’re describing their harmful behavior.

[Shadows of Control @shadows_control]

After I left my abusive husband and started speaking out about my experience of coercive control, I was often asked, 'Why didn't you just say 'No' to him and stand up for yourself?'

Saying ‘No’ would result in hours, days, or even months of harassment, put downs, accusations, belittlement, or threats, until I’d usually concede. Most of the time, it wasn’t worth the psychological torment to say No to something he wanted.

In an abusive relationship, it is NEVER as simple as saying No.

Thinking I’m so smart and cool and cost efficient for checking out a new hotel cafe to work, but then realising it’s more expensive than just parking myself at literally any other cafe than this. FML.

[Shadows of Control @shadows_control]

An abuser doesn’t have to forbid, order, or demand their partner do or not do something in order to be controlling. Often, they harass, criticize, insult, belittle, and lecture you so much that you go along with what they want just to avoid the psychological torment! 🚩
