how do you tell someone “I’m not ignoring you, I’m just disconnected from reality rn and the days are all blurred together and I feel completely apathetic towards everyone/everything around me so it’s really hard for me to maintain a conversation” without saying that?
Abusers will
insist to no end that they didn’t abuse you, that you have no business calling
them out, that your reactions were wrong, that you deserved it or it was for
your own good, that you remembered it wrong or made the entire thing up. And
you can be sure that they’re lying and you’re right. Because if their
preoccupation is not making up for how much they hurt you, if they don’t care
for one single second about what you’re going thru and are only trying to cover
their sorry asses and distract you with their denial and attacks for long
enough so you can’t call them out - they’re scum.
