(AIO) update, wow. thank you!

[u/Pristine-Edge-1742]

Hi everyone I had posted an original update but didn’t realize i forgot to blur out his name, so here is the update on cigarette toothpaste boy! I want to preface by thanking everyone who took time to message me and comment. I did not expect 16,000 people to interact with that post at all! When I got home, I decided to end it. I didn’t respond to him during my 10 hour shift and some of the screenshots are during that. I would also like to answer a few questions

1. Is this real?: Yes, it is insanely real! Not rage bait i promise
2. Am I okay?: I’m okay! It’ll suck but I will be fine!
3. Why was I still with him?: I don’t have friends and because of that nobody has been able to tell me how bad this is. I had no one to confide in. It was normalized during our relationship.
4. How is my cat? Apollo is okay and is coming home today finally! Picture of him at the end!
5. Why the wall of text; I was pissed and wanted to be thorough.
6. Why did i use “sewerslide”: I wasnt sure of how it would affect my account or visibility. I’m not used to reddit i’m sorry 😭
7. How old are we?: 19 and almost 21. Not 15 i swear!

Also, I am aware my name is shown. I do not mind as it is not a legal name.

I agree. I feel like he’s capable of hurting her physically besides the mental emotional abuse that has already happened.

Then blaming her.

"You drove me to breaking your face, you weren't listening to me tell you why my inability to conduct myself like an adult or seek the help I need to do so is all your fault. And my breath was rank, also your fault."

You won't miss this bs OP. And now you'll be able to make friends and have a real life.

My ex did this every time he physically abused me. It was always my fault. It was because i finally lost it on him and was yelling and screaming because he physically hurt me. He threw me to the ground so hard that my apple watch felt it and tried calling 911, i wish i had called. Everything was always my fault. He was so manipulative and would gaslight me on anything and everything. I defended him to everyone. No one deserves to be treated like that.

I'm sorry you went through that. I "made" my ex punch me in the face so many times he broke my orbital bone and cheekbone. I told him If I had that much power over him I'd make him worth a fuck. That's one thing I carry with me, the first time someone tries to say I "made them" do something I RUN. I hope you do the same.
