Why do I stay?
Posted by Purely Insane Me in Love on Jun 21st, 2010 | 4 commentsYou provoke all this and then threaten to cut yourself if I leave. I honestly only stay so you do not hurt yourself. It is killing me. I am not happy whatsoever. I think I am going insane. My death seems to be the only way out of this cold nightmare.

People who threaten to hurt themselves if you leave is one of the worst forms of manipulation. It is all about trying to control you and hold you hostage and it’s working. Leave. Someone who does that does not have your best interests in mind and you deserve to be with someone who does. You can’t control how they will deal with you leaving, that is their problem and we are all responsible for handling our own emotions. If this person does something stupid, it is not your fault, you can’t take the blame for it. This person is being selfish, and you are sacrificing your life for someone who isn’t doing the same. I know it’s difficult to leave, it’s can be confusing and sometimes we rationalize and lie to ourselves to try to make it better but what is boils down to is that anyone that cares about you wouldn’t put that kind of pressure on you and allow you to believe that death is your only way out.
simply put: your first and only responsibility is to yourself, get out and don’t look back. that person is responsible for what they do.. and find a therapist
Get the threat to hurt their-self on tape and you can commit them to an institution and walk away knowing they will be ok.
Leave, let them do it. I doubt they will do it, but if they do, it is their own doing, you didn’t help them. You cannot live your life the way they want purely because you’re their under threat.
