Re: So I married a sociopath...
Thank you. Coming to an online support group, beginning the difficult for me process of speaking, and having it attacked was very reminiscent of well, why I'm here. People project. And I forgive that.
Thank you for hearing me that I'm calm, not blaming or trying to 'fix me'.
Or doubting my very hard to write experience. I didnt come here because I wanted the opposite which is what society gives us. Judgement. Sticking up for myself, saying how I feel, really feel, in the face of someone telling me that calm (and with PTSD, staying calm is not easy least like it used to be) is anger, etc, is not arguing. It is stating the truth. That I'm not angry. People project. I learned this in my marriage. My ex husbands take on me was his projection of his mother. Still is. All the things I get accused of in court are things his mom did to him.
I read this before reading the last comment above from the moderator.
And I'm grateful.
