This story encapsulates everything about falling for a toxic guy. You fell in love for his nice tactics, not knowing about his red flags. And, after discovering his bad side, it was far too complicated and far too late to back out, especially with your own emotions clouding your better judgment.
At first I got angry over Peter not having a back-bone but after rereading, I started to empathize with him for I knew all too well what’s happening with him. And I think, for the most parts, I’m angry with him, probably a reflection of my own past, angry with myself for being so weak to the obvious torture.
If you’re a victim of mental, emotional and physical abuse, sometimes, you don’t even notice it until you’re too far gone. You blame yourself for being weak, yet incapable of taking a step away from the toxicity.
