You are totally validated at being angry over this. My ex was exactly the fucking same. Well he didn’t drink but like everyone thought the fucking world of him. He could charm anyone. Well unless they got to be a good friend of mine then he’d be nasty to them or try and turn me against them. What I’m saying is abusers are A+ at fooling people.

I hate that they’re so good at it. I hate that they’re able to fool people into thinking they’re good and wonderful people. It’s unfair and I hate that you went through it, too.
