AlpineHell oh, I thought that this was specifically about people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, that's why I said that I'm not sure if my parents qualify 'cause I don't know if their behaviour is "abnormal enough" to diagnose them with the disorder.
And yeah I was really quite lucky - in fact HE broke up, because "I was always crying, spacing out and having panic attacks and this made
him feel bad and kinda like it's his fault". Guess what, it was your fault a**hole! But yeah it's always easier to ignore your own problematic behaviour instead of changing it.
I think I'd never have left him on my own, he just constantly lied to me, twisted my words, said that my perception was wrong, my feelings were wrong, that
I was wrong, I was really starting to loose my sense of reality. I mean I suffered from PTSD even before we got together, but I never felt
crazy until our relationship got serious. And he always said that everything was my fault, when I felt bad I was just being oversensitive, when he felt bad it was always because of something I did. I felt like he hated me, like he never wanted to actually have me, his girlfriend, around, but when I told him this he got angry and said that I'm wrong and how dare I question his feelings it was obvious that it was again just me misinterpreting and mispresenting his actions, he liked me (he actually never said that he loved me, it was always just "like") he really did, why did I not believe him?!
I did believe his words WAY too long, I believed his lies over his actions that were clearly abusive, but he always twisted it so much and made me the crazy one that gets everything wrong. I even blamed myself quite some time after he broke up with me and tried to win him back! I was like "look, I'm not crying anymore, I'm the fun, cool, non-feeling girlfriend you always wanted!" He did lead me on for some time, but after an incident were he hurt me extremely AND BLAMED ME AGAIN I refused to take the blame and kept saying that I didn't deserve what he did to me, I did everything he wanted and he still hurt me in this monstrous way and then he just broke off contact with me.
Though I still had stuff at his place and a few months later I wanted to get it back, but he openly threatened me this time. I was very affraid, but I went there anyway because he doesn't live alone (he has flatmates) so I could always scream for help when he did something. But I got my stuff back without further incidents, he just threatened me again. This was back in June.
Two weeks ago he wrote me on facebook like never anything happened, but I told him that I now see clearly and my therapist said I could sue him and I would if he didn't leave me alone. He just blocked me without an answer, which is an extremely mature response appropiate for his age (he's 31, I'm 20). Though this got me all nervous again.
Ugh I got all rambly... but maybe someone who reads this will recognize the pattern and seek help.

Lesley: this is awful especially because abusive people just LOVE to take advantage of nauroatypical people, and someone might think autistics should be safe in a school just for them
