Abusers call survivors crazy because it's easier than admitting they terrorized someone into psychological collapse. They poke, provoke, lie, cheat, and harm, then point at the fallout and smirk.
They spent months — maybe years — breaking you down systematically. Gaslighting you until you questioned your own memory. Lying to you so much you stopped trusting yourself. Manipulating you until you didn't know which way was up. They pushed you to your breaking point deliberately. And then the moment you finally reacted — the moment you snapped, cried, yelled, or fell apart — they pointed at you and said, "See? You're crazy."
That's the game. They create chaos and then act shocked by your reaction to it. They provoke you until you explode and then use your explosion as proof that you're unstable. They terrorize you into psychological collapse and then weaponize your trauma against you. Because admitting they abused you would require accountability. But calling you crazy? That lets them play victim while you're left looking like the problem.
You are not insane. You are not crazy. You are not overreacting. You are responding to sustained psychological violence. Your nervous system is doing exactly what it's supposed to do when under attack — it's trying to survive. And the fact that you're struggling is proof of what you endured, not proof that you're broken.
They want you to believe their bu****it. They want you to think you're the problem so you stop holding them accountable. But you know the truth. You know what they did. You know what living with them cost you. And your mental health struggles are evidence of their abuse, not evidence of your instability.
You are not insane. You are responding to sustained psychological violence. Don't listen to their bu****it. You know what happened. And you survived it.
That makes you strong, not crazy
