#stitch with @Lisa Sonni StrongerThanBefore I have been the person in the abusive relationship, and I have lied. And I did it on purpose. I omitted information so as not to make my partner mad because he had no reason to be. Plans changed, and he was irate, so I’m glad it happened, and I’m not proud of my actions. AND I accept and understand myself for having done them. It wasn’t a fun call to have to make to my family and friends and own my part in it. I was weirdly surprised and strangely validated by most people I talked to. Most people understood ALREADY why I made the decision I’d made. I was being controlled at nearly every corner, but I ALLOWED it. I didn’t HAVE to lie, and I shouldn’t have. I simply wanted my friends and my “what used to be a good relationship” too. If you find yourself lying when you aren’t doing anything wrong, ask yourself: “Why?!” #narctalk #relationshipcoach #narcissisticabuse #NARCTOK
